Well...

...I don't know much about politics. I know my parents and most of my friends' parents are not very happy that this health care bill passed, though. I don't know much about it. I don't know how it will affect me now or in the future. I don't really have time to understand politics. I'm still swamped with high school work. Next year I'll be 18, meaning I'll be old enough to vote. I'll have to start learning about that stuff... Darn it.
All I know is that God's watching out for us and it'll all work out in the end.

Childlike faith. I'm not sure what the definition of that is... GOOGLE!!! Yay!...
Okay, I found this article. It's really cute... Little kids believe their daddy's can do anything. Well, God is our Daddy. And He can do anything! Duuuuh, He's God, right? Well, apparently a lot of people doubt him. What? Why? God is God is God. There's absopositutely nothing we can do about it. I mean, think about the world. He holds it IN HIS HANDS. Not even His arms! His hands!! And then think about your size in comparison to the world. Whooaaaaa you're teeny. I'm teeny. Teeny tiny. So, if God is that big He can do anything!! Right? Right.
Okay, so God is that big, He probably doesn't have time to deal with our problems. Wrong! If He has time to create the entire world, then spend time on the teeniest tiniest butterfly's wings, He probably (definitely) cares about you.
Matthew 10:29 - Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.
(Apologies to my friends whose names are Sparrow *smile*)
If God won't let a bird fall down unless He says so, I don't think He's going to let your problems slide unless He says so. Also, if He says so, He has a 100000000% perfectly good reason.
It's example time! Names and places were changed to protect the identities of the innocent... or not-so-innocent. ;]
There's a girl named.... Oh, let's name her Mina. There's a guy named Lee and a guy named uhm... I dunno, James.
Okay, all three went to the same school, and they were all in the same grade. Mina really liked James, and I mean REALLY liked James. However, James didn't know it. Mina's really depressed because of that fact.... so depressed she almost cut herself, just to get attention from him. That was bad. God said, "Hey Mina, you like this guy too much and it's driving you insane! Sooo, I'm gonna take him away." James moved all the way across the country. Mina was sad. Very, very sad. However, she didn't let it bother her too much and continued with her life. She became friends with Lee and a bunch of other really cool people who she hated before, because she thought they weren't cool. When she got to know them, though, she found they were the best friends she could have ever asked for. She started being more involved with church and youth groups, became way closer to God, and had this awesome God-joy; she wasn't depressed anymore. Well, time went on and Mina and Lee (forgive my clichéness) fell in love.
Anyways - the point of the story is: James was taken away, the Lee came into the picture. Lee was a bajillion times better for Mina than James (no offense to the real life "James"). Lee helped Mina get closer to God, and vice-versa. So, God saw that it happened that they got to know each other. Mina doesn't know what's going to happen later, but she's doing her best to trust God and realize that even if He takes Lee away, it's going to be for the better... She just really doesn't want Lee to leave. :]

So, God'll do what's best, even if it seems reaaaaally lame at this point in time. You don't really have the power to see the future, even the near future, but God is God and He knows what's going to happen FOR ALL ETERNITY. That's pretty dang cool. Like... really dang cool. God is awesome.
Trust in God as a child trusts. A child can be held upside-down, laughing her head off, because she has complete trust in the person holding her upside-down. It's like Abraham - he has so much trust in God that he was willing to kill his son. That's how much trust we need to have. Just like a child. Nothing will hurt you unless God has a purpose for it, and even then, He's holding you when you need comfort from the pain.
That's all.


So do your best not to worry what the future will bring, 'cause God will always bring better. Hey, that was pretty cool sounding... hahaha.
