MY conversations with God
September 15th 2008 05:06
I've been reading this book - Conversations with God (book 2). I found it at the office's library. The owner/boss has a huge collection of management and leadership books but has this one tiny section of inspirational and "others" books where I saw the book by Neale Donald Walsch
It's basically about the author who claims he had "conversations" with God when one day he wrote to a piece of paper out of anger to God and a voice or thoughts started pouring in, as if an answer to his question.
I hardly care if the premise is true, the contents are very thought provoking though. I actually believe too that you CAN have conversations with God. In fact, you do -- everyday of your life, you do.
When you believe you're talking to yourself and some "random" thoughts or solutions or ideas come to your head, you were talking to God. Some people call it prayer.
My marital situation/dilemma/turmoil has made me more attuned to my own "conversations" with the Almighty Being. Mind you, I may be Roman Catholic by religion and baptism, but I don't necessarily conform to it. I still believe there is one being who created us all and everything we see, know and think. Even those we don't know, see or think.
It is through these conversations that I find renewed strength and reason to keep holding on to my marriage. To trust and have faith that this is one of those big humps in the road that my husband and I will go through. Hopefully it's the biggest we'll go through, although we're still young in this world and in this marriage. I firmly believe that through faith, courage and most of all LOVE we will make it through.
I keep having these conversations. No i'm not yet crazy.
Try it, it'll help you feel refreshed and lighter. He does take all of your burdens away if you let him.

I literally stumbled upon this book while looking for a management book last week. I took it home because I read the first part which says something to the effect of "You are here on appointment, you are reading this book because it's your time to read it, blah blah..."
Basically telling me, some universal movement made you see this book, now you have to read it.
hahaha cosmic!

Interesting. After all nobody ever knows really why we're here and what we're here first. The insights are really really thought provoking.
