I take another step up the mountain, planting m spiked shoe into the gravel and using my knee as an anchor to pull myself up. How did my girlfriend convince me this was a good idea to get some exercise? This was too much for my frail body to handle. I lost my balance and fell. The last thing I felt was the rock, scorching from the pounding sun, burning against my bruised forehead.
Every experience is special. Every experience is important.. not just the good ones. Failing teaches you that things don't just work themselves out. You need to make it work. Losing shows to that you need learn to get back up and hope again, because things will knock you down and you can't let them keep you there. Pain is important, because it helps you appreciate happiness when it finally comes your way.
Lord. Our Father. Is He real? This idea of an over-arching figure that protects us from all harm and grants us eternal life, all under just one condition: we believe in Him despite not having any evidence of His existence. Why would He create a creature designed to define existence as what can be sensed by the body, and then expect it to go against the logic that He himself created? Did he think his book was sufficient? His book was written by humans, and is no more reliable than word of mouth. Please Lord, give me a reason to believe. If you are going to guide me, show me that the path is safe, and that the ground won't fall out from under my feet. Give me something concrete to hold on to.
