One of the most common phrases in American culture is "it will never happen to me". No matter what the situation may be, that is always the answer. When it actually does happen, we are usually shocked. What would it be like to lose it all? It's one of those things that no one likes to think about. What would you do if you lost it all?
It is very hard to wrap your mind around that question because it is something that we deem impossible. If I were to lose it all, I think my first response would be to pray to God and ask why? I know for a fact that I would be completely devastated as well. It would be so hard to go through something like that. The first place that I would turn, would be the church. Even if I lost all my possessions, I would first look to the church for support.
I would also wonder what lead up to the incident where I lost it all. What caused it? You see, I would also need time to sort out all the questions that I had stored up in my head. It would take me at least a day to get things straightened out in my head, and even then I probably would not have all my answers. In a way it would be like starting completely over. You would have to get new friends, new house, new things, new everything. I think that would be one of the hardest parts, adjusting to it all. Everything is new and that in itself is outside of most peoples comfort zones. A person would just have to keep moving forward. The good thing though, is that even if you lost it all (all possessions and such), you would still have God, which is really all you ever need in the first place. That would be the key fact for me. That would be what would get me through, and that is why I would run first to the church. Losing it all would be so hard that it is hard enough to try and put it into words. It would be a very terrible thing.

Good Job Laura!!! I liked how you thought about what led up to the situation that you were in. You did not just think about how horrible the situation was. You were the bigger person in the situation!
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog Laura, and you could look to me for help if you lost it all! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece of writing! It sounds like you would turn to the right place if said events were to happen.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you stayed positive through out this blog. You said even if you lost everything you would still have God and your church. I think that's really cool how you can look at the situation like this.
