Just some thoughts and emotions from my day!
God, I do not know what you are doing in and through my life, but I know you are working and moving in ways I cannot explain. I am being tested and encouraged all at the same time – and I am thankful for it all. You are moving. You are working!
How easy it is to waste our time. Time is precious, yet so often we find the “little things” to preoccupy us, and therefore leave no time for the things that really matter. I have been finding myself sitting in front of a lot of screens – whether it is a computer screen, television screen, movie screen or whatever other screen you can think of. Why I do it is beyond me…for something to do, maybe? to pass the time? It’s become more than a feeling, it has become a reality – something I do.
Reality. That’s been on my mind a lot lately. Never seems to escape my mind. Reality. What is it? Where is it? How do I obtain it – or can I? Or is there no such thing? Reality. It’s such an overused, “wanna-be” place. We’ve all heard the phrase “welcome to reality.” But what does it mean? I always have to stop and think and question it. Reality. Is it what I make it? It has become quite the phenomenon. Reality TV is what they say. People buy into it and want to be a part of it, yet, we all know it is not really reality. Or is it?
Inspiration – where does it come from?
Randomness – describes me quite well
Perception – different through everyone’s own eyes – we see what we want to see, yet whose is right?
Father, take my anxious thoughts and desires away. Sometimes I feel like a “yes” or a “no” answer is easier to deal with and accept than a “maybe.” It’s the waiting stage. Caught in the middle of two possibilities, unsure of everything. I want to be able to put all things aside and trust you and your ways, Lord. So much is up in the air right now. One e-mail, one phone call, one person can change my life. You did. For that, I am grateful. I am so thankful that You are in control of my ways and that everything I am – my thoughts, breaths, feelings – are in your hands.
I am sick of taking all the “little” things for granted. This world is so vast – and you created it. There is so much to see and do. I have been enjoying spending time in your creation – I am awestruck. Amazed. If only a picture could capture the full beauty of what I see.
They say “a picture is worth 1000 words” but I believe that nothing is the same as the real thing. Being caught up in that moment of the experience – the moment, perhaps one split second – behind the picture(s). The feelings, memories and sounds all making up a small fraction of this magnificent world! And that one priceless photo.
