I have been listening to this song that has this amazing line and that line is this "Its the Elephant in the room and we pretend that we don't see it. Its the avalanche that looms above our heads and we don't believe it." I love these lyrics. They are amazing. So many things in life are like this- We pretend were ok. We pretend things are better than they really are. Now please, don't just pretend I am a teenager that is over reacting. I do, do that, but not this time. This time I am trying to be serious with you. Is there an Elephant in your life, an avalanche that right there and you try to pretend its not? I know I have some.
This week one of my assignments for school is to write a reflection paper about a worldview. I have been thinking and thinking about my worldview and what that actually means and I came up with this, this will I am going to write my paper on. Our bodies hope and seek for a higher power, something that makes sense. This is could be the true God, false Gods, or materials but in the end, everyone knows they need something to believe in, something to hold on to... so when they realize the elephant in the room, it makes it not seem so bad since they have a bigger power to look up to. To protect. To love. To hold them!
Yeah!
ReplyDeleteActually, avalanches. I think in places that are avalanche-prone, they actually intentionally set off mini-avalanches sometimes, to keep them from building up.
Sometimes I can feel avalanches building up, and they used to be very very bad, but since I came to the Lord, He has been very good about bringing those pre-avalanche areas to my attention. But even when I fail to be obedient in dealing with it, He's still there, hallelujah.
