My Questions For God

I Wanna Know Some Things...

My Questions For God
Tyler Powell

There are many questions that I plan on asking God when I get up to Heaven. There are the typical, more serious and deep ones that everyone wants to know, like why does God let bad things happen to people who try and live their lives for Him? And why are some people born into terrible situations? Of course, once we get up there everything will probably make sense immediately. But there are some personal questions that I really would like the answer to...

Bugs...Why???????????

This is my main question. Bugs just annoy me and scare me to no end. I can't enjoy a nice picnic or walk outside because there are always bugs trying to land on me and bite me. Their creepy little legs creep me out to no end. ARE THEY REALLY NECESSARY? COULDN'T YOU HAVE MADE THEM LESS ANNOYING/AFRAID OF HUMANS/JUST NOT EXIST AT ALL???? All of Your creation is beautiful in some way, Lord, but I could really do without these...

Why Don't You Show More Clear Signs?

I know trying to figure out Your will for my life probably builds my character and faith...but it would really be nice if you could just clearly spell out for me what Your will is and where you want me to go. What major should I pick? What career do you want me in? Who do you want me to marry? Should I eat this chocolate cake or lay off the sweets for a while? Life would be so much easier if You would clearly tell me what You want. But then again, mystery keeps life interesting, and keeps me seeking You. So in a way, I am grateful, even if I get stressed out about this a lot.

Are You Okay With Tattoos? And How About Screamo Music? And Playing Violent Video Games?

Those are legit questions, and every Christian seems to have a different opinion on them. I have my own opinions, but sometimes I question if my opinions are ones that line up with Your Word and Your ways. I mean I'm sure once I get up to Heaven, the answers to these questions won't matter anymore, but you never know. If You could answer them now that would be even better.

Can You Show Me All The Times In Life Where You Saved Me From Harm?

Of course You can! You're God! But will You? I'm just interested in seeing all the times when I thought things were going wrong, but it was really just You pointing me in the right direction. I'm sure I also fail to recognize most of the times when You caused something good to happen for me. For now, I'll just thank You for those times, even if I don't know what they are. Hopefully when I get to Heaven, by Your grace and mercy, I'll be able to see those times and laugh with You.

There are a variety of things I'd like to ask God. Some serious, some not so much. I'm not sure exactly what Heaven will be like, but just in case we're able to ask questions, I'll keep adding to my list, and maybe God will answer them while I'm here on Earth.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
