In the beginning there was God

That was the main message behind a service I attended today. It was an Evangelical service at a local church. Pooja invited me to join her international friends - Donna and Dean - and I grabbed the opportunity. I've been on this path of trying to figure out where religion and spirituality fit into my life and what it really means. It was interesting to hear the messages today and see how they fit with what I've read and believe. We're so consumed by everyday material things, that there's hardly ever enough times when we push the brakes and assess what's really going on and why we're doing what we're doing.

I've been better at looking more holistically at my purpose and why I do what I do, but with every introspection I only get more confused. More doors open up, but every opportunity brings with it the possibility that other opportunities you've been working towards may come to an end. At what point do you completely leave everything to God and chance vs. actually thinking with your mind and following a path. As much as I believe in a higher power and the fact that nothing is a coincidence;it's all a coordinated incident, something in me questions how much to leave in his hands...how much to attribute to karma???

I don't think there will ever be a clear cut answer. The waters are muddy and I've chosen to try and find clarity! Another ambitious task on this sojourn
