Only a small fraction physically, but sense a strong spiritual tie on some issues, like being environmentally considerate, and seeking harmony with God's creation, even though it weighs upon us some via the curse of disobedience.

 

[Nom De Guerre]

[Nom De Guerre]

Despite knowing how hard people had to suffer, I think everything happens for a reason... would the world be as connected as it was now if they didn't shake us awake?

Yea, like when Joseph was wrongfully sold into Egypt as a slave, his envious brothers meant it for evil, but God worked it for good !

If God allows it, He will also turn it into something good ! Otherwise He wouldn't allow it !

But evil doers beware ! He will not justify wickedness, or those who continue therein !

[Nom De Guerre]

I always just refer to Isaiah 45:7

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Evil, in this case, is often said to actually translate to 'calamity'... anyway lol yeah, I believe everything, I mean everything, happens for a reason.

I have so many different nationalities, it seems like almost every year I find out something new in my background from relatives. :/

I'm a mixture of Cree (which is actually Ojibwe) and Saulteaux. My tribe, the 'First Nation' I actually belong to is said to be where many of tribes travelled to from all around us to meet; they uncovered a fairly large 'medicine wheel' made out of rocks where they all used to gather not too long ago - anyway, this all translates to it being some sort of sacred ground or something.

I don't really know that much about my own ethnicity and heritage (it's not that interesting to me), and being raised a Christian in the city away from even the urban Natives here kept me at a pretty large distance from even them lol when I did go visit family on the First Nation I'm from we'd only visit my Uncle and Grandpa (both pretty well off), and we'd just chill on their ranch and ride horses. They made sure we weren't allowed to hang out with all the other Natives as well.
