Hmm. i hope i dont make my friends angry by saying this.

but there's been this thread going around on fb. and it's just the sort of thing that I feel would make non-christians feel that christians are really not very smart or rational.

but sometimes i feel christians just repost everything that's 'christian' in nature

sure, i guess it's kinda sweet in a way. but i think it's not logical. and well, we dont get into accidents everyday. but people like me wake up late everyday. then how?


Okay the thread goes like this:

Wall Photos
Me: God, can I ask You a question?

God: Sure

Me: Promise You won't get mad
... ... ... ... ...
God: I promise

Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

God: What do u mean?

Me: Well, I woke up late

God: Yes

Me: My car took forever to start

God: Okay

Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait

God: Huummm

Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call

God: All right

Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one
of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Me (humbled): OH

GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me: (ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed):Okay

God: Your phone went dead bcuz the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly): I see God

God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me: I'm Sorry God

God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.

Me: I will trust You.

God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.

Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...

REPOST if you Believe in HIM ♥
Worth posting.




Hmmmmmm. Well...

Instead of so many life and death situations,
couldnt it just be a case

OF A BAD DAY?


and why does God need to explain Himself for u waking up late anyway.

I think it is not very biblical to think that God caused us to wake up late etc.


Many a times, we create a lot of messes ourselves, and it has nothing to do with God. lol.


well, surprise surprise, but maybe we have some will of our own u know? As my pastor put it last time, God has given us some brains and common sense, and a conscience. and we do not need to pray and ask what to eat today, what to wear today.

God lets us choose!!!

and if we woke late, it might be that we chose to sleep late the night before, our sandwich dont get made, well, we could have chosen to eat something else, but we wanted to queue for the sandwich

and God is not at fault for us waking up late, or losing our job, or getting sick, or losing someone dear

and He does not need to explain Himself

and this post seems to suggest that to be a good God, He needs a specific reason for every single thing that happens to us in our life.

ok la, i dunno if i make sense or not. but i just got rather annoyed that God is portrayed to have to explain Himself to us.

and over such little things.

I would think He'd respond by pointing out if we noticed the beautiful sunset today, or the stars He put in the sky.

I dunno. i thought God would always respond by countering a negative spirit with one of praise for things greater than ourselves and our situations.


after all, in the scheme of things and heaven, how big is an unmade sandwich or a car that won't start?

I dunno. at least thats how the God I know ministers to me when I am down and sad. He never focuses on my situation. He always takes me outside of it, and in the light of His glory, all else fades away.



so, based on how you know God personally, how do you think He'd respond to life's little gripes? haha (:



maybe the reason im so upset and disturbed is cos the God that's in the fb post doesnt sound like God i know :/

like reading about your best friend responding in a way you dont think sounds like her.



it's a confusing world. we need to really know God, and not just about God. :/

well i hope i dont have a major flaw in my thinking :/

it is 2 am now. hahah
