I SERIOUSLY need something good to happen

Aug 21, 2008 19:59

I can not handle any more bad things. Or not even, bad, just shitty in general things happening to me. It's things that I honestly feel as if I've had no control over. So honestly, I feel like God has a magnifying glass and standing over me like some obnoxious kid and I'm the ant and feeling every ounce of blistering heat from just about every area ( Read more... )

I don't know that my path would in anyway resemble yours or that your's is wrong or right, but I honestly have this stuck in my head from the Message version of the Bible, Mark 9:29, it says "Become what you believe" - when he healed the blind men ( ... )

this makes me very happy. altho I am basicaly a humanist and a bit of a heathen(my girlfriend is VERY heathen and it rubs off) I know oh so much scripture due to my small stint as a baptist preacher.

"and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Mordicai the Jew from Ester 4:14; ASV

also the words of aaron mc gruder, creator of the boon docks are pretty applicable in any situation too:
"quit actin' like niggas and act like you got some got damn sense..."

"Because regardless, I don't know if I deserve any/half/or all of it that is happening to me."
also, I used to feel like this a lot when I was younger. My roommate turned me on to the writings of Marcus Aurelius and his stoicism.

oh well, I barely have any idea who you are ...so yeah...that. them was some good sock puppets.

I DO believe in a grand divine plan. Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

And ironically, a former Baptist preacher/humanist just reminded me of that. ;)

Should I ask that your head be served on a platter? I am just kidding. But really, hope sometimes comes from the unlikeliest of places.

Right-0, sarcastic and dry humored sock puppets are my thing... haha, makes me want to download them illegally. Sssshhhhh.
