Was with you until the god stuff. If you believe that God will show you the correct path, etc. you must also believe that God is working in the lives of people who are starving to death right now. Yeah, God is working in the lives of children with terminal cancer. God is working in the life of those imprisoned for crimes they did not commit . I could go on, but I think you get my point. Why would God help you when there are people who's circumstances are much worse than yours or mine, and the creator, et al clearly not helping them?
I’m with you brother. During my 10 year old daughter’s 2 year cancer battle there was a 1 week period where we were told she wasn’t going to make it. I had a lot of the same questions as you, much rage, disgust for god, and complete shock/ confusion that god was allowing this. Walked him for almost a year, just “eff you god leave me alone.” Then one day I sat down and forced myself to find good in that situation (my wife made me lol), and I was shocked how much good I could already see. Peace came over me. I went from hating god, to not understanding, to accepting I don’t know the answers. I don’t think anyone does, many claim. I am not religious anymore after this experience, but I see value in it. I belive life comes down to faith that there’s a divine plan, helping other people, and accepting there’s questions that will never be answered. I don’t know about the other situations you mentioned, but for me, yes God 100% was working in the life of my daughter when she was going through surgeries in excruciating pain, and my wife and I when we were prepping on how to tell our daughter she wasn’t going to make it, and how to tell her younger sister. Just my experience, thank you for sharing 🙏
@VibeWithTrevor you misread me. I'm not mad at God. I believe the references I made prove that there is not a God that intercedes in our lives. Our founding fathers met every Tuesday to discuss thing of a theological nature and were convinced to a man that , while there was a possibility of a Creator, this God played no part in our day to day existence. That's kind of what I believe.
This has got to be one of the best videos on addiction I have seen. Thank you ❤
extremely nice of you to say that thank you glad you found value in it!
I agree 💯, I’m sober 2 years , and I can honestly say, that all 3 need to be in harmony , it’s all about balance ❤
Balance! Yes!! Lifelong process/growth for me on balance it’s a tough one 😅 ☯️
Keep Rocking. 🎸
Ya!! 💥 👊
