when i’m alone

When things are busy and Jasmine and I are running through life, it’s sometimes hard to think about the important things. Maybe you know this feeling.

Well, last week when we trekked in Utah’s Uintas Wilderness for thirty-two miles, I had plenty of time to think about the important stuff-and the not so important stuff. While on the journey, I thought mostly about the faith I had in a God that I can’t even see with my eyes and where our relationship was at and where it was going. The unseen part is a tough one for me sometimes because I want everything to be tangible. I mean come on, I’m American.

It also brought thoughts of how we made it this far together. Life gets hard sometimes. You know about this, folks.

The beautiful landscape alone had me thinking quite a bit about God’s attention to detail. Matthew 6 came to mind. I know that only God could make something so beautiful. I guess God also made the mosquitoes and the horses that left crap on the trail all the way to the top. Boo.

God’s wonder and awesomeness has been on my mind the past couple of days and maybe it’s crossed your mind at some point in your life.

So, when you first thought about believing in the whole God thing, what was the one thing that convinced you to start believing? Was it creation? Christians love? An altar call? A friend that talked you into it? What was it?
