be at peace

This day started off badly, but I feel much better now.


I talked to my boss for a long time about God. He always makes me feel at rest and have a better understanding. Ultimately, I understood that God isn't angry at us. God wants us to leave church and "Go with peace." He summarized this sentiment in terms of "I'm not okay. You're not okay. But it's okay." It's okay. It's all going to be fine. We also talked about how rainbows symbolize peace: for instance, this can be found in the rainbow after the flood and Noah's arc. All day I had been listening to The Rainbow Connection because the Muppets make me feel better. It had been overcast and unpleasantly raining all day. I looked past my boss outside the window over the city before I was leaving work and after we had discussed everything...in a blurred vision, I thought I saw a rainbow, but moreover I knew there was one. I just knew it. And sure enough there was a gorgeous rainbow arch covering half of the sky! I just felt that was very amazing and not merely coincidental. I felt at peace. I also felt happy walking home.


I do not know what the future holds. I do not know what's in store for me or the rest of the world. I do know that I will suffer hardships, but I know that it will all be okay. God will be suffering the hardships with me. And He's not mad at me. In fact, he's forgiven me before I was even born for all the sins I have and will commit.

Sorry this entry turned very religious. I just wanted to say that no matter what happens, it is very important to feel at peace and to believe in yourself. God wants that, and that is what's best for us. And if you're not religious or spiritual in any way, but have a little childish gleam in the heart maybe you can learn this peaceful attitude from the Muppets.
