God OR Karma?

I am going a little spiritual for this post – but it is a question that I have been having for quite sometime.  I guess that’s a big question that everybody has.   Is it God or is it karma that affects your life?  Whether things are good or bad everyone seems to feel that there is a reason.  What the reason is remains an unanswered question for many.

Things are going well for me today.  I feel upbeat and positive and the more good/kindness I share the better my day gets:

1. I paid for somebody that was behind me in the Caribou drive thru.
2. As I was grocery shopping I just kept smiling and saying hi to people.

These were small things that I did – and because of them,  good things (that could have been made into BIG things) happened to me:

1. It was cold out and windy and I got a parking spot in the front!
2. As I was driving by the gas station I just happened to look down and noticed that I was really low!
3. I was getting in the car with my hot coffee in my hand and I spilled my coffee!  It was just a little bit but the spill COMPLETELY missed me!

So my question is:  God OR karma?

I believe in God – yes.  But does that mean he’s looking down on my life saying “Oh – she’s being nice so I am gonna make sure she gets that front parking spot!”  I just feel there are so many other more important things that God has to do and whether or not coffee spills on me is not a concern to him.  I know that He is always with me and is looking out for me – but does that mean He just waives his magic wand and says “bless her today”?

OR is this karma?   What comes around goes around.  I was being kind so good things happened.

I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately and I feel that I have come closer to my God, but I still feel there are a lot of things for me that are unanswered.  I don’t know what the questions are, but I do know that it’s a matter of believing and faith.

Faith (in anything) is what really matters. It’s faith that you need to have in people.  Faith that you need to have in yourself.
