Ramblings of a crazy mind.

Its friday, so I find myself deep in thought. (for better or worse). While I generally don't toss up musings here I'm in the mood today.

We are powerful. Just don't realize it. It's funny, cause in a world we generally hate one thing. Chaos. Chaos is for the most part the one driving force of fear for all of us. Its why death scares us so much, or what keeps us working or keeps us striving to live a moral standard. All for fear of the chaos that comes from being tossed about in any fashion where we lack control. I think the biggest part of the LDS gospel is about gaining control. The ironic thing about the gospel is its vibe is think of others to save ourselves. Love thy neighbor, honor thy parents etc... The comfort of which isn't necessarily avoiding chaos, but having faith in what we are. ..which you may ask is what?

Being created from the very essense of our Heavenly Father. We are literally made from god material. God is the very pinacle of creation power. Thus I believe as his children we are blessed by the get go to be tiny power creators ourselves. Imagine if we realized this more. The entire earth is filled with life, animals fill their role, plants grow. But humans, we create. Whether we realize it and for good or evil we are filling what we were meant to do....our essence is to create to strive to create anything! Its our very makeup, we center our self dignity, self identity on our creations. Maybe its children, or our ability to survive, or perhaps our ability to make people laugh, or our ability to be lazy or evil.

I think about this, and in our world if feels more and more chaotic. I'm not sure if it really is more chaotic than previous generations. (Its kind of selfish to think it is I believe) or the fact that I'm getting older and realize more and more that it is already. There just seems to be this feeling in the LDS community that the latter days are just going to be aweful and chaotic, so we accept it more as the norm. Thats not really whats important. We lose personal power over our lives by accepting this. When crap happens and we feel like our lives are in chaos, we tend to turn towards the Lord more often than not. While that is good, I think we do ourselves a disservice by forgetting our first and foremost gift. Our ability to create. We MUST have faith in that ability. We are of God, there is no obstical that is too much. WE ARE POWERFUL. we just don't realize it enough. And perhaps by turning to the Lord, we beg for ways to impliment this power into solving our problems of chaos we will have more security.
