Quote about our world

We live in a world where a social status matters more than the status of one's soul." ~Brianna Colleen Carey 

What Has The World Come To?

Seriously this world has gone so far from good. Some of the things people do, the way they treat others, especially the elderly, the homeless, the sick, the meek, the less fortunate. We've gone from caring about the human being to thinking up ways to exploit it and get famous. We've become a world where most viewed videos or most 'likes' matters more than our conscience. Where a social status matters more than the status of one's soul. There are more and more people everyday who denounce the existence of God. Who shun and even laugh at the thought that they will have to answer for their actions one day. We have people foolishly going about without a hint of moral values. The way people talk with such blatant disrespect, those who proudly boast and practically gloat of their ignorance as if it were an achievement. The moral compass has all but vanished on earth. Its getting to the point where I don't even want to leave my home because of the hurt I may suffer or witness at the hands or words of another. The atrocious displays of disregard for the feelings of others is downright vindictive and despicable. People literally are going out of their way for the sole purpose of inflicting emotional and physical pain on another human being for the purposes of what.... Amusement? Self Gratification? And with forums like twitter and other social networks it only helps to create a way for them to spread their acts of evil to a broader audience attacking people without repercussions because their able to hide behind an icon of a stick figure or an avatar of their favorite celebrity, so their able to say whatever they please without actually facing their intended victim. It is honestly so heart wrenching to sit back and watch as the very fiber of our world as it once was unravels. Its excruciatingly painful for me to look around at a planet which holds such majestic beauty, and watch in agony as it is disheveled and trampled on by those who do not care about it nor its inhabitance. It tears me up inside to see the earth (which does not belong to us but is borrowed from our children) be poached, pillaged and plundered for its natural resources until it has nothing left to give. And it is revolting to see this magnificent earth, its animals, plants, and its people, being destroyed by the hands of the violent, corrupt, and the unjust who take no shame in what they do nor feel any remorse for their actions. Is there any hope for our children, or for theirs? I just don't know the answer to that. I try to be an optimist but reality hits me so hard every so often that hope just seems such a vague figment of my imagination. I guess thats where faith comes in, right? "Being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see." Because I definitely cant 'see' the good right now but I do know God is always working behind the scenes no matter how mysterious His ways. I only pray that, before its too late, this world gets back into a real relationship with God and very soon. One thing I am sure of is that that is going to be the ONLY thing that saves us. 

Happy Birthday Mommy

I don't know that I wont cry today.

Although I wish there was a way 

to ensure a smile stays upon my face.

I doubt there'll ever be a day 

that I stop crying for you. 

But today on your birthday; 

the sky is just so blue. 

The Sun, it shines just like you always did. 

I'll never forget 

the way you smiled through the pain 

You found a way to make it through.... 

and I know I will too.

Happy Birthday sweet Mommy.

I love you. 

I Pray

I Pray.

I pray because I hurt inside. 

I pray to ask for humility because I....

I am blessed and not always appreciative.

I pray because Faith takes initiative. 

I pray because it reminds me Im not alone. 

I pray for strength because Im painfully aware that I CANT do it on my own. 

I pray to be more grateful.

I pray because my heart at times is hateful

For that I pray to be forgiven.

I pray that this life Im living will one day make sense. 

I pray because its what I have left.

I pray.... because I still have the breath to do so.

I pray because I know.....

He's listening.
