Life in the matrix...getting unplugged

Kathy Davies - 36, married, unconventional Christian.

Blogging for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. I've known several people who have survived cancer and have received help from LAF and I've known several people whose lives were taken by cancer. LAF is a great organization, helping those with cancer and their families, as well as helping in cancer research.

I'm also a huge fan of Lance Armstrong and, after reading his book, It's Not About the Bike, I've been raising money for LAF in any way I can!

Using Matrix theme because it is a life theme.

Subscribes to the Catholic - Jewish - Messianc - Christian philosophy of religion.

What does that mean? Read and you'll see.

Back to the topic at hand...

One of the most important (in my opinion) points in the movie is about faith. Neo must learn to put his faith in what is true, not in what he believed all of his life to BE true. For instance...he learned certain laws of physics that he must begin to understand are now bendable, sometimes breakable. This is not an easy lesson, as anyone who has tried to break their own concepts of physical laws can attest to (two balls of different sizes, dropped from the same, height really DO travel at the same rate!)

In my life I have learned many lessons, as well, that are not truth. For example; it seems best, when given the choice of two jobs, to take the one that pays better, has better benefits, or allows me to do the least amount of work while making the most money. However, the truth is that following God's plan for my life, what ever it may be, is better. So He may want me to take the job that pays the least but gives me more time for ministry, or the job that will teach me the things He wants me to learn for the future. "I know the plans I have for you, plans for prosperity and not for pain." This doesn't mean there WON'T be pain, it just means that, in the long run, it will glorify God and will benefit my soul, not necessarily my pocketbook.
