Unseen Roots

As a tree grows, deeper and deeper the roots grow into the darkness. Unseen from the world as it works hard and tirelessly to produce delicious fruits. These roots, covered in dirt, selflessly work throughout the night unappreciated for the work it does for the tree. These are the same roots that gather nutrients and water from the soil to feed the tree. The same roots who uses all of its strength to carry the load of the tree. Without the roots there is no tree, so in the same way without God there is NO ME! Why then do we as Christians question God when we go through the storm. His word says that He works for the good of those who love Him. When we are facing the storm God our roots recieves the water and the nutrients needed through our praise and worship to feed us his word. So I pray the next time that you are facing trials and tribulations you will weather the storm with your praise and worship so that you may be fed through his word.

Trust issues

I used to believe I didn't have any trust issues. That is until I got into a relationship. Well I guess its true what they say you don't know until you are in that situation. But, I don't believe I was always like this. I think this is the making of me trusting too much. I like to think positive before I think negative. I wouldn't expect anyone to do something to me that they wouldn't want done to them. Because, the word does say do onto others as you would gave them do onto you. So, in that case do the people who lied, cheated,  killed, and stole want people to lie to them, cheat on them, kill them, and steal from them? I myself don't want these things done to me so I try my best to not allow these situations to come in my direction. So let me tell you how my trust issues began. It started a little before I got into my first relationship which by the way aren't many. It all started when I was talking to this girl who had a boyfriend. At the time when we started I didn't know she had one. We were talking for a couple months. When I found out she had a boyfriend but, by them we had done a couple of things I am not so proud of. Knowing that we had not made anything official I was going to back off and let her be. When I approached her and told her what I was planning to do she seemed a bit upset. I asked what happened and she said why would I lead her on to just drop her like this? I told her it wasn't like that I just don't like messing up what people already have. I'm not the type to break up a home. So the next day she broke up with the dude, she tried to explain how they were on the rocks and that they were on the verge of breaking up anyways. She then went on to tell me all of the things that he didn't do that I did and how she felt like I was a better guy for her. I'm not gonna lie it felt good to hear that about myself even if I knew that they were not true. I told her that she can go back to him because I knew if she did that to him, I who has never been in a relationship before, she would most definitely do that to me. After some persistence I gave in and we began to move towards being in a relationship. Some weeks had gone by and we made it official and things seemed to have been going great. Then I started to see her ex come around a little too often. My mind began to speculate and I started thinking maybe something is going on. So I began to watch her and him more closely. Every time she come to me she is coming from where he is and when she leaves she heads the same way. So I said to myself if I have two people I'm talking to I would not let them know. Then I had a great idea, I'll ask him if he is still talking/dating her to see what he says. Sure enough he said yes he is (glass shatters) and thus my trust issues began.
