Character Confession: Lost. So Much More than a TV Show
This week my husband and I enjoyed a week alone while the kids were at grandma’s. He worked during the day and I gave our son’s room a complete makeover. The last night we were alone we were talking and he defined me as “sassy.” This is not a new term attached to my name. I try not to be confrontational, I’m too tired for that. But sassy…guilty as charged. And sometimes I just have to speak up.
I scan my FB feed and Google Reader on a regular basis. Not everything catches my attention but lately I’m seeing a common theme in my reading.
The atheists are struggling.
I’m not joking and it isn’t funny. I’m just making an observation based on my reading. They are vocal about their choice not to believe in God but they also share their issues. Depression. Suicidal. Psych ward stays. Lack of commitment in their relationships and employment.
Even in printed word I can read between the lines, hear it even.
Desperation.
I’m not saying people with a relationship with Christ have an easy life. My life is hard with struggles. Yet my faith in Jesus Christ is real and active on a daily basis for me. Beyond the choice to trust a God I can’t see and believe in His Son, I have something else I’m not seeing in the atheists.
Peace.
I don’t know a joyful atheist. I truly don’t. But I know too many people with great intellect and wounded hearts who are searching for completion.
I can’t wait to read their updates when they find it. Him.
