Emily Grise – Reading Journal 7

People like to decide what they think should be considered right or wrong. Expressing, and
sometimes feeling, these feelings including anger, discontent, or disappointment directed
towards God are one of these things people consider negative. Our culture often puts what they
deem correct over what the Bible shows us is acceptable. I am not sure if there are times where I
have felt let down. I don’t know if this is because I subconsciously felt like I was not supposed to
feel let down if I have always kept in mind that there is a plan behind my experiences. After
these last couple of weeks in class, I feel as if I should question why I cannot pinpoint a time
when I have experienced this. I feel as if our culture and our churches would feel more inviting
to people to feel comfortable seeking out why things are how they are. If people feel more
comfortable to ask questions and express concern, they would be able to form a more in-depth
relationship with God.
