I have the day off and I am diving into my homework so that I do not have to worry about it over the weekend. I am really learning so many amazing things. Our world is so complex. There are so many scientific procedures and absolutes to follow that it is amazing to me how anyone could think that this all was an accident. I am finding out a lot about indigenous people and their spiritual beliefs and it is amazing some of the similarities to one another and to Christianity, Buddhism and other religions. It just reinforces my personal beliefs in God, Christ and the Holy Spirit.

I am just really excited about some of the things that I am learning. I have a new respect for science and I am thankful that God is allowing me to finally understand some of the intricate ways that life is sustained within this world. How much we take for granted. Just the way that the wind blows, it is just amazing.

What is difficult to me right now, is that I cannot give anyone the feeling that I have right at this moment. To be able to see clearly the truth of how our world is connected and that with all the different cultures and belief systems there is one underlying presence that can not be ignored. Something created this amazing web of life that we are a part of. I will never look at life the same again. I will never live it the same again. There are so many levels of awareness in life and where I am at right now just brings me to tears. To see such a minute glimpse of who we are and to know that I will never be able to comprehend what is right in front of me. How could I ever hope to comprehend something to intimate as the workings of God?

Angela,
I understand such unexplainable emotions. When I am learning all the scientific details of how the intricate parts of the body or of nature in general come together, I realize that not one person could have designed everything so beautifully as my God! To have a personal relationship with the God of the universe is almost unfathomable! He has poured out so many blessings on our lives and sometimes all we see day in and day out are the "storms"(trials we face) or the "damaged" parts of ourselves (our inadequacies). We need to learn to live in Him. A missionary who visited our church last year preached on "Looking Through the Lenses of Contentment." I think that is what we have to do to understand all that God is to us.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. They are always an encouragement to me.
Your sister in Christ,
Heather

Angela,

Well I have caught up on your latest posts that I have missed the last several days. I have been encouraged and convicted by your posts. I love to look at creation and think about God. There are so many details in the workings of this earth and the creatures of this earth that reveal SO much about God! Its so awesome! I love Science. I wish I was learning the stuff that you are learning. Thanks for posting! I'm so glad to see such strength in God in you. Praise God!!

Those who are born again get new eyes, kind of an inside view of how everything sort of fits.
To them that love God (in our perspective), all things work together for good.

To God, creation is "good"

Those who love God see the Creation, and all the events that take place within it as working together.

I believe an analogy can be made out of anything that was created.

When Christ indwelled me I starting seeing the whole world differently.
