Maybe.

Maybe we think we need people, when really all we need is God.

Maybe people are there for just the moments when it feels like God is far away, just to remind us that He is right where we left him.

Maybe we are meant to be unsure by others' teachings, so we fervently pursue our own.

Maybe we are meant to question mankind, so God's divinity is seen in perfect light.

Maybe we are meant to feel desolate at times, so that we can feel God richly filling up every empty space.

Maybe I'm meant to be afraid sometimes, so I can feel God calming my storm.

The lives that were sacrificed, the people that gave what they had, and the journeys that have been faced to label us as the 'land of the free.' I am a rich American. I don't struggle to make ends meet, I have a car, I live in a house, and I eat healthy food by choice every day. I take warm showers, I sleep on a soft pillow, and I have blessings that a tenfold every single day. But I am also an American who refuses to fall asleep. By fall asleep, I mean, conform to the reality of what is really going on. Are we really a country that remains free? Or is there now an element of fear as we live out or da...
