so..here it is. time to post. i've got a whole lot going on and not one thing to say about it. or is it that i am just feeling lazy and wanting to bob along with the crazywild current..letting it take me where it may? i really have no one in particular that i want to talk to about such things, other than this page and the One who knows all things before i know them. i came to this little blog in the world, and decided to stay awhile. not sure how long i will visit, or even if i will have company while i'm here, but i will enjoy the moment nonetheless. i have, of late, been in a 'doing' mode, without alot of time to visit my 'being' mode. i am a big believer in getting away from the noise - whatever color or volume level that noise may be - and just being. however, lately there has been no time for getting away from the crowded spaces of my life. i find myself in the middle of deadlines, obligations, and pressures that i can't possibly escape from until the deadlines are met and the obligations are fulfilled. so..as i sit here, i realize that i feel a resentment rising within me. a small, barely distinguishable voice that rises from amongst all of the others, struggling to be heard, gaining volume as my outside forces squeeze harder to get more blood from this sad little turnip. 'get away!', it cries...'get away from all of this and just run to where it is quiet and warm and safe and you feel like YOU again!' but i realize that the voice is one that i cannot heed..cannot acknowledge in any way, lest i fall into the trap of doing less and giving less than my best to my Saviour, the One from whom and for whom all that i do exists.. so my solution is this: i will continue to focus on The One...and give Him every ounce of every obligation, every deadline, and every pressure...offering it to Him as a gift, expecting nothing in return, but always gaining PEACE.
