fate in flowers

You must be thinking, how do fate and flowers correlate?
I'll tell you.

This morning I was told by God to go on a walk.  I could've stayed back and drowned my mind in the endless portal of social media, but I decided against.  Just to test my theory, I picked up a flower.  Was I to continue on this walk or turn around to familiarity?  The first petal I picked was to continue walking.  The second to turn around.  And while picking the last of the petals, my theory had come to life.

This sounds like a coincidence, but I don't believe in coincidences.  I believe in fate.

the reality of Christianity as an accessory

As contradictory as it sounds, for some Christianity has nothing to do with Christ and everything to do with self.  For those who label but don't follow, calling yourself as a Christian is comfortable.  It's self-praising.  It's sometimes reading the bible or going to church for no reason but to feel like you're on the up-and-up with God.  It brings this feeling that you're "good" when you're anything but.

In the beginning of a spiritual journey, one usually wants direction.  One wants another human being to pave the way.  And more often than not, that turns into taking and taking without having to put any effort into something themselves. You might try to look for that direction by watching those youtube videos on how to "be better", or pour your time into reading "self help" books.  Don't get me wrong, that's all fine and dandy, but the substantial food comes from the word of God.  Not only does it have a palm of protein, but it has a fist of vegetables, a cupped hand of carbs, and a thumb of fats.  Step one is just picking up the fork.
