 Two Sides To Everything 


There comes a moment in your life when you are forced to look back and take inventory of all the circumstances that lead you to the present day. As I reflect on the events that have taken place and the decisions that I have made, I realize that life is experienced in seasons. Maturity, along with wisdom, flourishes in different shapes and shades. It looks diverse for everyone. I ask myself why some people seem to have the upper hand in life, while others seem to have drawn the shorter stick. There are always two sides to everything and life is no exception. When I contemplate the path that I have taken, I see two completely contrasting life styles: one lived alone, and one lived with God. There is a question that has been lingering in the subconscious of humanity for the entirety of history, yet so many lives are lived without fully understanding what was missed. What is our purpose in life? According to my own understanding and experiences, I believe that our purpose on earth is to know God and witness Him in our lives.

"But for this purpose, I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth". - Exodus 9:16

Is it possible that we were always meant to live to know our Creator? Many people could argue that perhaps we don't have a creator; that life spoke its self into existence and we are a product of an accident. At the end of the day, you are responsible for your life, your choices, and your existence. I choose to believe that God is evident and that there is an authenticity to life with Him at the center.

I once spent four hours early in the morning roaming throughout the streets of my neighborhood with a guitar in one hand and my bible in the other. Before I left my house, I spent three hours awake going down the list of the things I needed to do when I woke up and the tasks that I didn't even get done before I had lain down. I wasn't entirely aware of why I was still awake at one in the morning, but I was suddenly inspired to go outside, and I knew there was a reason for the sleeplessness I was experiencing. Captivated by my anxiousness, I began to stare at the ceiling fan, trying to make images out of the popcorn material on the roof of my room, growing increasingly bored and frustrated with every waking second. At some point, I needed to get rest but I knew the odds were slim against my overactive thoughts. I decided to do the only thing I knew how to do: pray for peace and let my heart be settled for the first time that day. Shortly after praying for sleep, I hear
