I&#8217;ve learned it all works out in God&#8217;s time. For years I hesitated saying &#8220;God&#8221; because I grew up being beat up and threatened by the word. Then I realized &#8220;God&#8221; wasn&#8217;t the problem, it was the people using the word to scare me into submission with their own agenda. (not my parents btw.) Now I say God and I mean Whoever or Whatever is Up There or Out There, whatever He\/She\/It may be. I also call it The Universe or The Creator because those words are familiar and to me all mean the same thing. And I&#8217;ve come to rely on the proven scientific fact that if I place something in the hands of That Energetic Force That Holds Our World Together, I am always pleased with the outcome. Also not to take score too soon!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/clock-in-hands-text.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-45572\" src=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/clock-in-hands-text.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/clock-in-hands-text.jpg 509w, https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/clock-in-hands-text-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/clock-in-hands-text-300x297.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/what-i-mean-when-i-say-god\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=What I mean when I say &#8220;God&#8221;&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/what-i-mean-when-i-say-god\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/what-i-mean-when-i-say-god\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/what-i-mean-when-i-say-god\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=What%20I%20mean%20when%20I%20say%20&#8220;God&#8221;&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/what-i-mean-when-i-say-god\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, I&#8217;m not real worried about what&#8217;s happening.
