Life isnt fair

                Hey guys, so I have never had a blog before. I don’t even really read blogs. I am not sure why I got a blog but I think it is mainly just so I can fill in time sometimes and write some of my thoughts down. Unfortunately this is kind of a pessimistic blog to start on. I promise I will try to write happier thoughts next time.

                 If you have lived longer than three years you have learned that life isn’t fair. Sometimes this is hard for me to grasp. It is hard for me to understand why God lets life be so unfair. Why do some families lose two sons in one year and others never lose any at all? Why do some people have 10 different New Year party invitations and others none at all? Why do some people have parents that love them and will do anything for their kids while some kids never see their parents and barely know what it is like to have people who care? Why do good people lose their wife/husband/child to cancer? I could go on and on with examples of things in life that don’t seem fair. Often we think life would be easier if we just move away and start a new life somewhere completely different. Just start all over. But I don’t know why I think this would help. Life is life. It won’t make things better to move away. If it would it will only for a short time. Then something will happen and we will again need to deal with it or run again. Unfortunately we cannot just run away from our problems. But then how? That is the question I am asking tonight. What can I do to make things better? My long time goal is to reach heaven. I know everything will be fair there. There will be no pain, no suffering, and really nothing bad at all. Who doesn’t want to go there?! But what can I do right now to make this life better? What can I do to help the people who are hurting? What can I do to help the people who have went through so much? I know how it feels to think life is completely unfair. I have felt pain many times before, but I have never lost a sibling or parent. I have never had to struggle with a life threatening sickness. I have loving parents and family and friends. I know I am blessed. So what can I do for the people who haven’t been blessed with these things? I found a verse in 2 Corinthians 1 that gave me and answer. Verse 4 says, “Who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” When I go through something rough the most comforting person I can go to is God. I don’t know how He does it. He can somehow protect each of us and comfort and watch over us all at the same time. He is amazing! It is because of Him that I can deal with life even though it isn’t fair. I still don’t know how to better help others going through pain. I would appreciate comments on that if any of you guys have good experiences or ideas on things to do to make life better for those hurting. That was a lot of rambling and probably doesn’t make sense to most of you but that is ok. Just remember God is watching and is there for you when you need Him. If you are like me that is all the time! Sometimes I forget that though.  Alright well peace and love friends. I will be back maybe soon. Maybe not! J

Alright, so it is time to write another blog on one of my favorite people and since i am sitting in the airport and really have nothing better to do i decided now is the right time. the person i am going to write about this time has always been very dear to me but since i have been away from her for almost  6 weeks i feel a little bit more strongly right now. i miss her for a number of reasons. the person i am going to write about is my little sister Tory. Tory and I are three years apart. Growing up we didnt have as much of a close relationship. She had her little friends and I was just so much bigger and more mature than all of them. She was just that annoying little sister that followed me and my friends around but all that changed as we both matured and realized it was a lot more fun to be friends cause who doesnt want to live with one of their friends. We have had many good memories together. Some of these have happened in our own home, some in the suv on the way to f...

Thankful Musings!

  You know every year thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. I am not entirely sure why because for one it means winter is almost here which I don’t appreciate at all, two it is usually very cold and three it is very busy and there isn’t much time to relax. However the weekend of thanksgiving always end making me feel happy and thankful for the life that I have and the people that are in my life. A couple things have really stuck out to me this thanksgiving that I would love to share with you guys. One of the things that I have been really thankful for this year is a family that doesn’t depend on the success of their business and money for happiness. You see this fall we, as a family are only getting about 10 to 15 percent of our regular crop of apples. When you are used to getting 900 bins of apples from one section of your orchard and this year only getting 150 it could be rather depressing.   Out of our 800 acres there is next to nothing to pick thi...

The Big Round Ticking Clock

I have been thinking a lot this week about time and how we spend it. Its been a very busy week and it is a busy time of year so this will vary for me depending on the time of year. When I disected this past week this is what I came up with. Now my question I want to ponder tonight is just what I did with those 54.5 hours? Did I use them wisely? Now of course there are many things I didnt document here. Like showering and getting ready in the morning/evening etc. Like driving from place to place. Like devotion time. But all week I felt like I had no time. I was running here and there and not sure just how I was gonna get everything done. But now that I do this I feel like I may have had extra time if I would have just managed it a bit better. There are things that I have to do but its what I do with those extra hours that count. Those hours that arent filled with work and sleep and eating. Those hours that could be used to make the world a better place, to make me a better person, to...
