So for a while I have been trying to figure out the relationship between Faith & Reality. What is the defining point between the two? When do we rely on God to make something happen and when do we use our God-given abilities to make it happen? Arn't we supposed to rely on God always? But then, why did he give us a mind of our own and the know-how to get things done. I know that we have a choice between which we do-either have faith that he will make it happen or just do it ourselves. The fact of the matter is that I want to rely on Him for everything but sometimes get feed up with waiting on Him. I mean come on God, didn't you make the universe? Can't you move mountains? Why can't you just do this little thing for me?
It is not that I don't know that He can do anything. He has always been able to do anything and everything. I know that He can but what I strugle with is will He choose to do it. Do I just need to Pray more? Is He trying to teach me something by not doing it? Will He ever do it? Will I ever know the answer to this?
That is the strugle. Where does faith meet reality. If you have any thoughts please comment on this and let me know.
Trying to figure out this life,
~Hosh~

Maybe thru struggles, and periods and seasons of silence, and waiting.. God wants us to truley realize that he is there.. even when we can't feel him, or hear him.. he is there. God run's this universe.. that's the ultimate truth.. just keep living that out, and in time you will discover God's desire for you. Remember Abraham and Sarah.. they trusted God, but in the process they tried to fix their "no child" problem by themselves, and ended up with Ishmael.. which turned out to be a bigger problem.. God has big things in store, just like he had them in store with Issac.. Keep trusting, and keep walking in faith!
Thanks guys. It means a lot to know that people actually read this thing and even more so that you offer advice and encouragement!
