Pay Attention

I wish people would pay attention.  See what's actually happening around them.  Not follow the masses.  

People like me are considered backward.  Not open minded. Anti this, that or the other.  

Ever think that people like me are the ones who are targeted because we aren't following the masses?  We take the path least walked on. We aren't blind to this world and where it is headed. We see it all, and we chose not to join in.  We make a stand against it.  It takes more guts to do what we do, then what everyone else is doing.  

Everyone else is taking the easy route.  The route that allows them not to think.  Not to make a decision for themselves. Oh everyone else is going this way, let us too walk in the same direction.  

But behold, there is only one end to that path my friends.  

The path of the righteous has never been easy. I do not consider myself above anyone else.  I simply hold my beliefs close to my heart and not allow the pressures of this world to take them away from me. I see what is right in front of me, and also what is not spelled out plainly.  

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.  To many out there, I may come across as not caring.  The truth is far from that.  My words may not reflect that, as I try never to come across as vulnerable.  Honestly, I care too much.  My heart pains from the cares.  I care so deeply and so fully that I physically ache.  

Though you may not believe...I have raised you all up to my Lord. May He guide us always!
