Believing the unseen

Sometimes believing in God is like believing in ghosts. There are tons of stories involving personal experiences and exchanges of that nature. However, unless it's documented somewhere, you're pretty much nuts in a bag. Isn't the definition of "crazy" repetitively doing the same thing but expecting different results each time? In that case, count me in. To believe naively, always expecting a favorable result, yet always returning with the same outcome. Yep, that sounds about right. Where is the straight-jacket?
You know what gets under my skin? It's like everybody has this perception of who God is and why he does things. How can anybody possibly fathom anything greater than themselves? That's like me writing a biography about myself, only to have some Joe-Shmoe recite their interpretation based on their own personal belief system. We are just a bunch of groupies trying to follow This Guy around the world, only he doesn't really promote himself openly. No, you have to guess most of the time, hoping you show up at the right place at the right time. Wait, hold on. We're on God's time, so, um... good luck with that!
Sometimes I think God is as graceful as a fortune cookie. The bible is full of stuff that sounds hopeful and unrealistic. Are things really crappy for you right now? Don't worry, great things will develop in the near future! Hang in there, pal! Yeah, whatevs. Ugh, I mean: whatever.  Okay, so I might be a little bitter.  Sure, sure.  What can you expect when life hangs you by the neck for so long?  I deserve to kick and shove, and to make a few questionable comments as I go.  I'm pissed, man!  Then again, I'm plagued with this idea that I don't deserve anything.  Fair enough, I guess that's a true statement.  Let's see:  I have nothing, you give nothing, I expect nothing.  Hey! Well, at least my anxiety will decrease due to lower expectations, haha!  I guess that's not really funny, oh well.  That is all for now.

....for now.
