Spiritual Journey

The most controversial topic that has been debated over centuries 'is whether or not there is a Greater Power'. If one does exist, why are we going through these circumstances? Why does it seem like the world is governor by chaos? Why aren't all races treated equally base on the fact that we are all human? But if it doesn’t exist, that supports the lifestyle of most people in society whose beliefs are to live life in the moment and to the fullest because when they die, its all over; no afterlife or any eternal life. It really makes you wonder how are we able to navigate ourselves through the path we choose. Some people think that they are the ones that decides there own path. Our religion or moral compass gives us a reason to believe that we aren’t walking alone. I believe that God bring us through events just so he can open doors for bigger blessings. 

It is hard to explain certain events that occur in our lives like 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, or the disappearing of airplanes. Maybe, it can be a more personal event as in, choosing the right guy or wondering why a family member died so young. Some people think its karma, a few try to explain it in a scientific method, while others won't even ponder the idea. Then again, when these unexpected misfortunes happen, a few look to the “Greater Power” for some kind of answer. In the Holy Bible, God tells his people to look to him for guidance and answers.
"For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8).

Scientist can’t prove that this world came into existence on its own; neither can people who choose not to believe in a greater power explain their point of view.  There are so many signs and facts that prove the existence a Creator and the creation story.  Now believers have various terms for the greater power such as, God, Ali, Holy Spirit, etc..... But all I know is that there is super natural being which governor this world.  Even non believers when they get to the ladder years in life, towards the end start to develop a thought or intuition leaning towards a greater power.  We may choose to do right or wrong but I strongly believe when it’s all said and done all our decision will be examined or as other might say the final judgment.  This world has shown just one this which is all our decisions, free will choices all have a repercussion to the benefit of good or evil.  So at the end of my life on this earth I would like to be on the right side of good rather than the left side of evil.

Happiness??

So, I have been asked this so many times through out the year and well of course I would respond... Yes, I am. All the reason to stop the person from snooping into my personal life, give them an answer that would satisfy them or let them envy you. But, then I would have to ask myself... Am I truly happy? Is happiness doing what you want by any means necessary? I've had a few people that are really close to me break down my life and say that I'm happy but not really happy. Like, what does that mean? My boyfriend tells me true happiness is finding Jesus, having a relationship with him and allowing him to guide your life down the right path. Then another question pops up... What is the Right Path? Who is Jesus? I know of him but do I know him the way I should?
In the King James Bible it says, And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 and I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Proverbs 8:17. These two scripture verses tells you who to go to enable to find happiness. But the questions still stands, Are You Happy? I honestly don't know. This journey is still beginning for me. I have gotten so many advice from different people that supports me and those who goes against me. Happiness is a bit hard to obtain because of the obstacles we all go through in life. Some take shopping for being happy but for me it was just a brief moment of bliss, then reality hits and I'm back to square one. Sex is the same way... feeling icky afterwards isn't cool but it depends who you decide to share that moment with.  It's been twoyears since I've decided to be a Seventh Day Adventist and it's only this year I've taken it seriously. I feel that I have gotten a little closer to God then before but I'm still searching for that happiness that I keep getting questioned about. Like, what do they expect me to say... I'm living very well, financially great, I'm living the best life ever but, what do they want to hear??? Anyway, I'll just have to continue this journey and figure what Happiness is.
