The TRUTH.....

Monday, August 31, 2009

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I am a 19 yr old college student majoring in Sociology. I picked Sociology because I agreed with its theories of the world's problems being based on social factors. However, the deepest part within me felt like there was something more. There had to be something more out there. I've always pondered upon these two simple yet complex questons: Why is there so much sadness and hate in thie world? And why, despite all of the progress & contributions that women have made through all of the years, is this still a male doimated society? Today, folks, I found the answers. Rather I should say, the Truth found me.
While reviewing my syllabus, I overhead a young female speaking to another student about the Bible. I pretended to read my syllabus when all the while my ears were attentive to their conversation. As I listened, to my surprise, amazement and curiousity, the answers to the above questions came to light. My heart was pounding as the young lady eagerly turned the pages of the Bible and wholeheartedly read the verses. . I was startled by a phone call but I refused to pick it up. Allof a sudden, the young lady was thanking the student for her time. It seemed that the student considered other priorities. I reluctantly shifted my focus back to my syllabus just for a moment when I looked up and saw the young lady!
As we spoke, as the Bible verses came to life, questions flooded my thoughts? We were angels in Heaven before? We were with GOD Almighty? We rejoiced day after day? There is a female image of GOD in the Bible? In the book of Genesis? Admittingly, I have tried to read the whole Bible, but I could never get thru the first couple of pages. How can anyone understand any book without actually having the Author tell his/her audience what he/she meant? Inevitably, her invitation to study more was not an option but Priority #1. I will blog again once I get my first full study....... Stay tuned.......
