What is God telling us?

Watching footage of what Hurricane Sandy has done to the east cost tonight I cant help but wonder, "what is God telling us?" You know this is His plan and sometimes I cant help but wonder why is he "wreaking havoc" on our country. Is this a sign? Is he telling us how bad our country had gotten, or that he will be coming soon? This storm was HUGE I mean they said it stretched 1500 miles!! Well the affects went that far. We have experienced heavy heavy winds. Because of this, West Virginia and Ohio are getting snow, we have cold temps and heavy winds people have no power, in the states affected by Sandy, with cold temperatures. NYC was a ghost town and the subway system, the biggest in the nation, was shut down and in danger of being damaged.

I know Katrina was bad and people are still recovering from that but Sandy was much bigger and such a huge storm they said it might have caused 20 billion dollars in damages. It's really hard to see the footage and to really wonder what God is doing or planning or saying. We will never know but I cant help but wonder what else will happen. There was a big hurricane last year too (not nearly as bad as Katrina though) and it seems that so many "natural" disasters are happening. Earlier this year there was a huge tornado that destroyed several towns and damaged Branson, MO. The huge earthquake in Japan last year makes you wonder what is happening.

Sometimes I wonder

I wonder how people go through their life with out knowing God. I dont get how people say they are spiritual but not religious, what does that even mean? I also dont understand how Christians can be democrats, either. I understand that if you think they follow your views then that is where you will stand but I dont see it! I wonder how I managed to know so many people that either dont believe in God, say they are christian but dont practice it or are democrats. That is my big problem there, democrats, not as people, necessarily but their views. I somehow have way too many friends that are liberals and I butt heads with them a lot. Now some of them know my views, as I know theirs. We share our opinions and agree to disagree but there are others who like to shove it down your throat and think their way is the only way and then they get mad at you when you defend yourself. Why do those that think differently from one another think each other is ignorant for not believing their way?? As long as they are fully educated then one is not ignorant. Yes, I accept those that are Democrats, because that is what they believe in but I just cant wrap my finger around Christians that are Democrats. Please dont think this is attacking you, I just dont understand, that is all. I do believe that a lot of it has to do with morals. Everyone has their own but I know each party has specific ones and those are the ones that I just dont understand. How could you believe in a party that is against your religious beliefs or has clear understanding of what you know is wrong from the Bible but still follow that party. Again, more answers that I wont know but just thoughts I need to express.

Then when I think about it maybe that is part of my purpose is to be there and to help guide them, not in a blunt way but maybe overtime. I know God placed these people in my life for a reason and even though I have had a few battles with some, I cant help but think that I am placed in their life for a reason. Even if they have done me wrong and our relationship isnt the same as it was, I just cant help that feeling. Is that part of my purpose in life? To help those friends that God puts in my life that arent religious to become religious?? Like I said it will happen overtime and not right away, as with anything. Maybe even those that dont become religious will see things differently and with a different perspective  Even if I didnt fulfill that part in my life, at least I tried and I'd at least think that is what God intended all along. He doesnt give us more than we can handle, we might not think that, but he knows we can do it.

I also wonder how people can look all around them and see the landscapes, the sky, their children, the leaves changing and NOT see how that is all God's work! Where do they think it all came from? How do they think we got here? I know these answers I will never know but we can always wonder. This whole world is God's masterpiece and he is perfecting it all the time.
