So I have two dreads! They are just little, one about the size of my little finger, the other a little smaller... and I'm just so excited--I am going to love having my hair like this! They are fun to have and easy to take care of! (really, I think they will be less work than normal hair for me!)
I am sitting in the coffee shop (as normal) and writing before class... I just realized for Reals last night that I only have like three weeks left of Fire In The Night and then something else... but I'm not sure what something else Is yet. I am trusting God--in fact--every time that I start to freak out, God does something perfect to remind me to trust... like a perfect song or randomly flipping open my Bible to proverbs 3:5+6. So I am content to trust in Him and His perfect leadership, but I am still asking and listening for the next step.
God is the subject that never ends, for He is the unending God... and He is more than a subject, He is a person. This is something that I've been learning. God is not a formula, prayer is not the divine "shopping cart." God is a person and He wants real relationship. Not only that, but scripture is not just something to provide knowledge... it is the mode in which I begin to know and form a relationship with God.
My goodness, so often I use words and all they are is more words... And then there are times like now, where I want to express what God is doing and how my heart has come to see Him in so many new ways, and I cannot express what I would like. I am not sure how to put the language of the heart into words.
All I can say is this: keep your heart open and ask God (person to person) to show you more of Himself, and teach your heart to understand... and He will do things... and then you will be like me with no words...
Time goes so fast. I want to start using it well. I was talking with Danya, my roommate, last night about how fast time goes, and she made the point about how busy we are in the west. We rush around trying to fill every moment and free spot with something--and that really hit home. I want to take the time to see God's beauty in creation and not be so caught up in what is about to happen that I miss right now. Because time really is short... I used to think how LOoooooooooong this life was, but then I blinked and time went by. Time is such a gift... and want to start enjoying it.
So I think I will go do that... I love you all. I hope some of my ramblings made sense, but if not, that is okay. Soon I will be home, and soon life will keep rushing on, but for the here and now--I am thinking about you and praying for you. Look around today and find God right where you are.
