The Litter Box
~ Thursday, March 30, 2006
So I put my last post into practice when I got the last email from my ex about mediation for our daughter's visitation.I didn't immediately reply right back with a scathing flame-mail.
And I knew Jesus had to be the one moving me, because I wouldn't have been able to hold my tongue back had He not been here to soothe my raging storm of a soul.
I was thinking the other day, as I was listening to "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche in the car, aboutt the dream I had when I was really sick. I mean, I was REALLY sick, feverish, the whole schmole. I remember having a dream (hallucination?) about Steve (the fiance that was killed) and I asked how it all worked with this God thing, and I remember wanting to understand the nature of God and time. So he explained it to me by saying "It's layers." And I didn't get it. So he said,
"Imagine you're able to time travel instantaneously through time. Go to a time late in some person's life (let's say your mom), when she is old and she's made all the big choices. Imagine all her choices are all laid out in a book. You can read all those choices and you know what she's done with her life. You also can read what she was supposed to with her life, and see how far off she went. She has exercised her free will in a particular way that is clearly laid out before you.he said.
Now, shuttle to the middle or beginning of her life, right as she is in the process of making those choices. You ALREADY KNOW what she is going to do. She still retains her free will, it's not been taken away, but you know what she'll pick already, before she does.
That is the best way to explain free will and destiny. Destiny is the plan you designed, like a road. Free Will is the point at which the road intersects with a different path.
That is God,"
