There once was this bloke

There once was this bloke that grow up in a christian family and believing in god was just something he did. He had no reason to not believe in God.


He would go along to church with his family every week and again this was just normal thing to do on a Sunday.

in his teens he rebelled at little (like many do) and didn't really have any reason to ask to many questions about god as just knowing he was ''around'' was enough.why would he need to think to hard about it, after all if God was there then why worry about it.

As he grow older and life chucked a few more things his way he would some how find the ability to turn to god or turn away from god. A big event in his life came when his mum died and seeing her faith come through in that situation got him thinking more about God and how he works.

Still he continued with life with a care free attitude and hard two sons that he thanked god for and identified the importance of teaching them about God too..

It was when this guy hit a low point in his life and marriage started to break down that he found himself seeking God more than ever. I guess you could say that his belief in god hadn't changed but the situation made God seem more important.

See belief in God (where he is just there in the background) and having a relationship with god (where you talk to him and read things in the bible about him) become 2 totally different things. What this guy found was that it just became more real.

At this point, in the darkest time of this chaps life he found himself asking God to ''sort him out'' and it was then that God pretty much kicked he up the back side.

Life change instantly for this guy. Not in the way he wanted or in the way you imagine but in the way this guy looked at the world and how he looked at others and different situations. Don't get me wrong there was know real change in his situation, but the change was in him.

I guess you could say he was on a very long and winding road that was up hill all the way. And all the way along there where still mistakes to make and hard times to cross.

I know this guy well and even recently he has blown out a candle that God had lite for him to help him build a and see future and is now trying to lite it again.

What this guy is starting to learn is he has to make decisions and sometimes will make bad choices even when god shoves them in his face I guess he still struggles.

Of course finding God standing beside you in those hard times may seem crazy to some but surly it stands to reason and to me it is God showing he is there.

You may think this story is just a crazy made up to just try and prove a point. You may think its one of those stupid story's made up by some religious nutter to try and convince others that god is real.

Well let me tell you this guy is in know way a change man. and there is no amazing ending to this story. What I can tell you is that this guy still struggles and still takes the wrong turns, but he know totally believes God is trying to do great things in his life even if he doesn't see it at the right time.
