Life moved and I stopped to taste it.
I drank it up 'til it left me wasted
But my rains have bled
A softer red,
oh you should see the world inside my head

Why?
Why can't God's plan be more evident? Why does it have to be such a slap in the face sometimes? Why can't it make more sense in the here and now? I wish my faith were stronger right now.
I read this in a lesson on Hagar a couple of days ago. This is in reference to her seeing the back of God as Moses did (you have to go back to the Hebrew for that one). I'm not sure if this applies or not but it is beautiful:
He sees when no one else cares to look. He sees throught the smile we wear when we're dying inside. He sees our hurt when we're mistreated. He sees us when we cry into our pillow because we feel unloved. He sees beyond our sin into the depth of our need. He sees when we're hiding. Running. He sees when we continue to sow the seed of His word even in the floodplain of our grief. Sometimes we don't realize we've encountered God until our vision clears. Maybe that's what seeing His back means. He is the God who sees you.
I am a singer, son, friend, jerk, moron, comedian, confused human and many more all rolled into one. I am trying to figure out just who and what I am all about after 37 years. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

The question of the ages. Right up there with the stuff about dinasaurs.
And our for what it's worth dept says; Your faith has impressed me. I am learning from it.
