—sometimes you just need to unplug. i had been listening Beethoven, when I looked outside and a live symphony of rain patters is in progress. beautiful and delicate...mind-clearing.
—writing is therapy. let your pen have a love affair with paper.
—I unknowingly put on two pairs of socks this morning (two on each foot)
what i have discovered in the last few weeks:
—i need to surrender. at crossroads a few weeks ago, there was a sermon about treasures, that is, stuff you keep near and dear to your heart, and sometimes closer than God. i learn visually, and a motion piece that crossroads created to illustrate the bearing of these treasures has been engrained in my mind. The man in the video was hiking through the woods, dragging his prized treasure chest behind him. he at last becomes exhausted, and comes to a large hole. he looks at the chest, and realizes he must bury his treasures to gain relief. when opening the chest, he sees that his "treasures" are just mud, and not at all what he thought; he had been exhausted by holding onto insignificant remnants. after burying his treasures, he must then bury himself. yes, it was very graphic and moving... alot to chew on. complete surrender, by choice, in order to follow Him.
—i need to swallow my pride. easier said than done. but i would like to learn some humility, and get my whacked-out priorities in line with God's plans. i will keep asking to see and understand them further...
what i have always known, but needed a little reminding:
—i have friends that are monumental in my life, that lift me up when i can't stand alone, and that lead me back to Him when i'm astray. you inspire me, get me out of bed in the morning, and spur me on with smiles! i cannot express my thankfulness. so i guess, just...thank you. and i give you a blog hug.
God is moving.
