Spiritual Earthquakes!

I havent published reflections lately. From the last time I published my spiritual life has gotten colder. My dear grandma passed away. It seems when death comes to the ones I love I tend to move away from God. My girlfriend and I found a nice mega church that we go to. Is hard because I go to church on saturday and then the following weeks I start to have a bunch of trial and tribulation. Today I experienced spiritual harships in the form of increased sexual desire. I wanted to sleep with all possible women I saw in the street. After struggling for a while and having many thoughts I kind of looked up and ask God for help. It did relieved me a little.

I came back to work and everything was fine. I was scanning some documents and we felt the floors were shaking. One of my cowrkers suggested that it might be an earthquake and we just dismiss it. 10 seconds later there was a real and heavy earthquake of magnitude 6.6. I ran very fast to get out of that building, I was very nervous and worry about all my family and girlfriend. After being sure that I was safe, I approached the few people that were outside with me and told them to go to the nearest park. Fortunately the earthquake had just ended.

There are times in life where you have spiritual earthquakes in life. You want to go out and be safe. You want to feel quiet and at peace. The only way to really be safe when a spiritual earthquake is happening in your life is to look up and pray to God.
