Day 19: yay for me

Just when I think my life is getting rough, it turns around. When I think I may not pass this class, I pass with exactly a C. God is looking out for me. Yes sir. The good ol' God has my back. He is giving me the materials I need to make sure I succeed in my five year plan. He gives me motivation when I need it. He gives me the knowledge. He helps me to retain large amounts of information and the ability to recall it when a test day comes. He has never let me down and quite frankly I do not think he ever will. He loves me. He loves you.
Oh, did you know that being a Christian is a bad thing?
The other night at work, a co-worker said in a disgusted tone, "You are SO Christian." I was shocked. Since when did persecuting Christians become the cool thing to do. Oh, that's right, it has never stopped. Christians have been persecuted against since Jesus walked the Earth...from the very beginning. When I think that things are looking up and the persecution has ended, it happens again.
I was also told that only people who are not educated go to church. People who are not able to form opinions of their own. My mother has her masters degree. Am I correct in assuming that that means she is pretty well educated? I would say so! She goes to church practically every week. I do not have a college degree but I would still consider myself pretty well educated. I believe it God. I believe that he is watching over me. He loves me unconditionally. I do not HAVE to see him to know that he is there. I know that I can talk to him 24/7/365.
You see, there is this thing called faith. Faith means believing without necessarily seeing. It is just knowing in your heart that something is true without having pure evidence to back it up.
Faith.
You ask why I believe in someone or something that I cannot see?
Faith.
You ask why if he can do anything, why he lets all these bad things happen?
He is trying to teach us a lesson. Besides, people have free will. He does not control everyone. We have free will. We have the ability to make our own decisions. He guides us in the right direction. Whether we listen to him or not is all up to us. It is free will.
That is all for now.
Later.
