A Generation of Sighteers

In a world set on live by sight not by faith , have we lost sight of what it truly means to have faith? In a conversation early today i encountered 2 individuals who have lost sight of faith entirely. They believed that they must be able to physically touch something or be able to see something to know that it is really there. Well what about the wind?Is it there? Obviuosly that is a bad example but thats what it has come down to for many people. Believing that God truly exists for many people is a challenging thing to do because the "facts" aren't all in place. But thats where things can get a little sticky for most conversations when you present the facts to an unbeliever because:

1. This galaxy and all the other millions of galaxies could not have been created by molecules accidently crashing together.

2. The Laminin Cell that holds are body together could not just be a random phenomenon

3. The millions of true life "turn arounds" that all have God as the source

4. The coutless numbers of miracle stories that have no other orgin than from God

These are just a few "signs" of a loving God and these havent even touched the number of facts that lay "hidden" to some in the Bible. True unbelief is an epidemic in today's society because if it doesnt come easy it must not be true but once you open your heart up to allowing God to show you what you looking for, he will open the gates of heaven and begin to blow your mind with the realization that a Holy and loving God exists and wants to know you!

Lately, ive been taking the time to reminisce on countless numbers of blessings that i have encountered in my life. Without a doubt i deserved none of them but God was so gracious and loving to bless me despite my sinful nature and eagerness to live for myself. My goal for this blog is not to have you read my blessings but for you to reminisce on the many blessings you have in your own lives, we take so much for granted but yet when you take a step back you realize how truly blessed you are. I have thought of many times i have been blessed and have come down to a "top 5" list not taking anything away from any other blessings.

1. God's forgiveness and willingness to offer me a second chance
2. My beautiful Girlfriend/Bestfriend- who has been such an inspiration and a light in my life
3. My High School Cross Country/Track Coach- who is an amazing mentor
4. My Family- who has taught me to be content and how to love
5. My gift of running- the gift i may return the blessing that God has given me by running 100% for him


These are just a few of many but i hope that you can think of a list just like this and begin to thank God for his amazing timing, his love, his graciousness, his uncanny ability to always pull through, and his willingness to offer anyone a second chance.
