Millennial Outpost

The world around me is crumbling under pressure, world leaders are at odds with one another. Nations that were allies one day, have a tense relationship the next day.

Even within the bounds of one nation, the people seem to be more divided more than ever. Or are they? Could it be that the minority group just so happens to be the loudest? If the election was any indication, then we might be more united than what others want us to believe.

I am optimistic. I believe that God has everything in control and that the world, after the last 15 years, is starting to heal and normalize. The pendulum always swings back the other way before it slows down and comes to meet in the middle. The pendulum is swung far left – it’s bound to swing far right, but it will start to slow and swing back and forth, up and down (or left and right). Eventually it will slow to the center of the two points.

Where do we go from here?

I don’t know about anyone else or about the world politics, but I will strive to live my best life and avoid the fear and scare tactics that the media, government, or the world tries to throw at me. We are way too informed about world politics, average everyday people. Social media has opened up the lens to every faucet that we don’t need to know. For over 2000 years, people only knew politics and the daily life of their own community and we were better for it – we were healthier too. We need to concentrate on our own lives and worry about the speck in our own eye than worry about the speck in someone else’s eye. We need to work on ourselves and not interfere in other peoples decisions, let people make their own mistakes – we can still call out we see and in a loving/calm way tell others the negative effects of actions but ultimately the decision is theirs to make and we need to be okay with that. If we are not personally affected (physically or financially) that we have to let it be. I won’t let my hurt feelings or my emotions get involved in the decision making of others.

Let the Holy Spirit fill us with the Fruits of the Spirit….Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.
