No.

Not all the time.
If I focus too much on what is and what isn’t real, does that take my focus off of God?
Yes.


When I go to a different Church I’ve never been to before, I try not to pay attention to what the others are doing too much. I’ve fallen back before myself. I’ve felt the presence of God. I’ve seen the presence of God one time as well. That was a special occasion.


Sometimes satan will sneak in and have someone (often unknowingly) do some crazy stuff just to get people to take their focus off of God.


If you’re not sure about some of it, just put it on the shelf for now. You can keep an eye on it, but keep the other eye on God. Never take your focus off of God. Never pay too much attention to what others are doing. You can pay attention, just not too much attention. God can do some amazing things that might seem a little crazy at times, but hey… He’s God. He can do what He wants.

Thanks, Who.

You made me realize that it did take my attention away from God. Cause I had sort of a staring problem. I tried to stop looking, but every time I did my eyes went back to them lol.

The thing is, there were people standing there to catch people incase they fell. Which made me wonder if it was real or not.



...By the way this is completely irrelevant but everytime I hear the song Who Am I by CastingCrowns I think of you. Is that where you got your name?

I can take even your greatest mistake. Every scar, every tear, every break. And I can turn it into something more beautiful than you have ever seen. So lift them up to Me. All the broken pieces.
