The Butterfly Effect
PLaying God.
When it comes to this movie, it's pretty much what Evan (Kutcher) tries to do... going back in time, trying to change things of the past to make life better in the present and future. Without thinking too deeply; it sounds like a wonderful idea, but as Evan learns... it's not something that can realistically be done... and certainly not without unforeseen consequences.
I believe, without exception, people want to be in control of their lives, I know I do. If given an opportunity to change things or have more control, I'm sure many of us would go for it just like Evan did. After all we would convince ourselves that we could make things better and who wouldn't want to be able to improve things. The problem is this just doesn't work.(a) Being in control isn't the way to make life better, more stable or improved.
As a child of God a person is offered to give control of their live to their heavenly Father. God is full of mercy, grace and goodness and desires only the best for His children. He knows what's best and will lead those willing to follow, down the path He has laid out.(b) The only way to make life better, more stable and improved is to give control away... to turn control over to God and submit(c) to His good and perfect will.(d)
The past is the past, it can't and shouldn't be changed. However, we can learn from the past, both good and bad... and the things that have scared our hearts can be healed(e) through the power of God. He is willing and waiting for all people to come to Him and be restored; reconnected to Him and living in agreement with His plans and purposes. In this fulfillment can be found. We must press on(f), leaving the past behind.(g)
Even though we all have the tendency to play God in our lives... trying to control everything, we need to recognize what is best and turn to our loving heavenly Father. He will heal us, and He will lead us on.(h)

Hi Wendy:
I really like your post .This is my first time that I've read your post in English.Actually ,I did it in Spanish.This point that you wrote is very interesting and it's something true about God's love and compassion for us. He is the only who can control and change everything in our lives.He has a reason for everything he creates.Every person was designed with a purpose in mind. God made us for a reason, and our life has profound meaning .We discover that meaning and purpose "only" when we make God the reference point of our lives .
I would to read post like this in your Spanish's version ,also.
God Bless you!
I think that everything wrote was very logical.
However, think on this, suppose you added a little information?
I am not suggesting your information isn't solid., but what if you added a title to maybe grab a person's attention?
I mean "The Butterfly Effect" is a little boring. You might peek
at Yahoo's home page and see how they create post titles to get viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get readers interested about what you've written.
In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

I tend not to create a leave a response, however after reading a
ton of remarks here "The Butterfly Effect". I do have a couple of questions
for you if it's okay. Is it simply me or do a few of these responses come across as if they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I'd like
to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Would you post a list of
the complete urls of your social community pages like your
twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I think that what you published made a great deal of sense.
But, think about this, what if you added a little information?
I am not suggesting your content is not good., however what if you added a headline to possibly get people's attention? I mean "The Butterfly Effect" is a little boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo's
front page and watch how they create news titles to grab viewers
interested. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about everything've written. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little livelier.
