Ponder

I sometimes get these, I don't know if you would call them ideas or not but these thoughts. I shared one with Michael today. Here is a pieace of our conversation.

Mandy: Do you believe that who we are is only a matter of what we believe we can be?

Michael: What do you mean?

Mandy: I don't know, I've heard that people who are bad also have the potential for good, right. So then if that is true than the potential of evil is in all of us. But maybe we are who we believe we can be if we believe in a greater good. Then we strive for that. But those who believe in something evil than that is their goal. Like that for power or wealth. In the bible it talks about money being a root for evil. People believe money is power, thus they strive for it.

Michael: Ok I agree. But what brought this up?

Mandy: I'm not sure, it kinda came to me, this is not the first time something like this has came to me. Is that weird?

Michael: No

Mandy: Sometimes I feel it is.

Michael: Why?

Mandy: I don't know who talks like this Or thinks this way?

Michael: Maybe it's from the Lord?

Mandy: WHo am I that the Lord would use me? Why would he and what is the reason for me to say this?

Michael: I don't know but he can use anyone.

Mandy: I just think as I said before that beliving in a greater is us beliving in God. Thus we strive to be like him. I hope you knew that was what I meant for us anyway as Christ followers.

Michael: I know what you meant I usually always do. You didn't have to explain the meaning to me I could read between the lines.

Mandy: Right sorry I feel compelled alot to explain myself.

Michael: I know.
This is part of our conversation. I'm not sure why and what the point is to this all. But it is not the first time I have felt complelled to say something. Sometimes it is out of no where and other times I have these thoughts after I've heard or watched something. I was always the one's my friends in school came to with a problem and even my own father comes to me for advise. I need to pray and see what is going on. I've always wonder and I just thought I just have alot of common sense and that is all this is. I don't know. Anyone out ther have a thought?
