Logic does not cover all areas in life
nor does anyone base their ideas on complete logic
For we all have rose color glasses, we see the
world as we want to see the world
Till certain events happen in life to enlighten our perspective
to see beyond the barriers of logic
The mind body and soul connection is important for
us to develop as healthy individuals
One one area rules over another one does not live in balance
When one looks at the nature echo system there is a balance
to the area of it inhabitants
When humans try to mess with it their is a consequence the
echo system is unbalance thus creates harm to the area
For example as our climate warms it threatens the bee
population and other species then it will become a threat to humans
I put my world into a nice neat logic place where everything
had to be explain with information to back it up
There were so many things I missed about life there are
times when events happen to good people which can not be explain
Emotion and feelings add a depth to our life it enriches
our purpose in life comforts us in times of trouble
Religion for many is lip service they do not try to
live their beliefs for some unexplain reason
They feel other should live their life a certain way
When some one falls they look down upon them like a worm
underneath a telescope for all to see
When on comes to a personal relationship it is about
love and when you love someone deeply
A person wants to spend time with them,get to know what the
other likes and does not like.
When two people who are deeply in love marries an oppsite person
we do not see how it works.
This is how my love is for God it a personal relationship
One will never guess how it started
Very wise person listen to me, did not judge my feelings
they gave me a challenge in a year if I could prove God did not exist
This person would not talk to me about it.
Well I research many things tried many religions, even pagan ones.
Then a event happen in my life that I did not expect in my life
While I was driving I had a really bad car accident the doctor's
ran their test when the results came in they told my parents
to start planning a funeral for I would not live
My body was so badly hurt that I could not support my bodily
functions I had eternal bleeding from every organ
I could not breath on my own with our life support
There was bleeding on the brain in a area where surgery
could not be done in the middle of it plus frontal and
brain stem injury what I did not know at the time
is doctor's did very little at that time to help
They actual did not know how the brain worked or how
it effects our body it was recently that research showed
that swelling cause damage that could not be seen
Now they monitor it very carefully and give them
more in depth care then I ever got
So I asked the doctor what the survival rate at
the time of my accident was compared to now
The statement was many doctors did not know what to
do so they let the die due to the fact they lacked the knowledge to help
In the process it bugged me that someone gave me a
challenge I stewed over it for many years
Then more events lead me down to a path that I
discovered true faith is unexplainable
Even Lee Strobel could not disprove there was a God
he is a journalist, who investigates the latest discovers on prevailing theories on faith his first book was The Case For Christ
I even got to hear him speak so I prayed to God
if their is a God prove it to me
For me this is a personal experience and many other
have very different experiences that lead them to God
When I was a pagan my life felt empty with no purpose
So I let the events of my life lead me to God it
was a very long journey
Deep in my soul the only reason I am here is due
to God, another accident happen I cut an artery the
doctor told me only by the grace of God I was alive
and my arm was not taken off the muscles was gray
The doctor promised me he would try to save it
When he fixed the muscle it turned back to its normal color
in similar cases the part of the arm could not be saved
Now reflecting upon many life issues their are many
personal experiences that I have not dealt with now
I have the strength to deal with them
When I decide to love God here what I learned
That God loved me even where I was at
At that time I was a mess many gave up on me told
me there was no hope for me
One person believe in me stood by me in trying times
it was not one or two days it was years their love
and compassion for God won over my heart
Now I believe nor do I look down on those who do
not believe I know life events can live a heart filled
with distrust, bitterness, hate, and many other feelings
Here one more lesson I shall share with you I feel it
is very important I think we all our on a path some
of us are different places in life
We are trying to find it in many areas of our life
Some will believe out of love,some always knew there
was a God with out question live a life full of compassion
Some go down the trail of hard knocks then hit rock bottom
with no place to go they live in despair
Many will believe that there is no God
Looking down the history many cultures practice
pagan rituals and God fearing beliefs
We are a culture that has a mixture of beliefs
When our finally breath is done
If there is a God no harm was done it made me
a better and happier person
If there is a God I do not desire the
consequence that will happen it makes me shudder
God is like the wind we know its there with us, it can
not be seen unless it moves an object
This is how God works in our lives
The choice is up to you the person who has
to look in the mirror is the one seeking the answer
No one can walk this journey it truly up to you
God let us have free will to make this our choice
it not force upon us out of fear for perfect love
cast out all fear
The journey starts with one step at a time
Author notes
This came from my heart, it was not intended to be a sermon
just a story about how events lead me to the belief I have now
these are my feelings and thoughts about it.

Although this had a great message to it, and I value your opinion, it got pretty hard to follow in some places. With a little work..this piece could be really effective.
There was quite a bit of spelling mistakes (I'm not a spelling nazi but you know.. lol) For example, echo system.. I'm guessing you mean ecosystem right?
I'm all for free verse, because I do most of my poetry this way, just make sure it doesn't sound like a run on sentence if you know what I mean. Also, it would make the page a lot prettier and appear shorter if you divided this up into stanzas.
Well enough with the critiques haha anyway..
I respect the fact that you tried other pagan things out also, it shows you're open minded. I suppose I'll put my opinion about God and whatnot on here while I'm at it lol (keep in mind I'm not too religious, so try to bear with me
)
The whole thing with the "prove God doesn't exist" has come up in some of my discussions with other people. My take on it is..prove he does then lol. It's all a matter of spiritual faith and belief really, neither side could prove anything. It's like standing in the middle of some strangers yard and saying "Prove that the wallpaper in their kitchen is yellow" You couldn't acually prove the color is yellow but you couldn't disprove it either. You couldn't prove or disprove anything unless you acually went in there and looked for yourself. If you apply that to God, I suppose people won't truelly be able to prove/disprove his existance until they're dead. Forgive me if my comparison is slightly flawed in any way, I'm trying to find a way to better explain my opinion on this subject.
Well thanks so much for the entry, sorry for my rambling..I get caught up in the moment
Thanks and good luck
