I think I need to start blogging again. Or at least writing again.
"Thoughts disentangle themselves as they pass through our fingers."
I've been thinking about the need for urgency in the life of a follower of Jesus. We are living in the last days. We need to be aware that there is a crisis around us - millions and billions of people who do not know the saving power and love of Jesus. Our world is becoming more and more blatantly anti-God and when the tribulation comes, we need to be ready. We need to be found waiting and looking for Jesus' justice on this earth. We need to KNOW Jesus: know his mercy and his justice so that we will not fall away when he gets ready to return. We need to know his love and power so that we can stand firm until we are with Him forever.
I've also been thinking about my lack of vision. Now that I've graduated, all the pieces are falling into place. All my plans, all my dreams. And yet I don't feel the energy or drive that I felt 2 years ago. My head knows what it wants, but now it's wondering if there's more to come. I love my job - absolutely love my students. I love what I do in church - absolutely love my youth! But I feel complacent, and I don't feel the deep passion for life I once felt. I do feel though that this isn't it. I don't know what "it" is...or what it is that isn't really "it."
I know life isn't just about feelings. But the Holy Spirit does guide our thoughts, and so I'm waiting and praying to see what this feeling means. Join me?
