It is exactly one month and a week since my last post!
What have I been doing in the space between?
Let’s see, I began uni again. I just finished taking a course titled Foundations of Adult Learning and next week Wednesday I begin Interpersonal Communication.
Today is my day OFF! But I am still ON. I am ONto organizing myself, my life, and trying to be a good steward of all the little seeds my God has placed in my hands.
I am happy to find myself in a “quiet room” @ the library facing a gi-normous window overlooking tall palm trees, freshly cut green grass, and cars driving past as I sit and dig into myself.
I had a thought just now which inspired me to begin thinking about my blog again.
As I sat here, after being marveled by litlle bright yellow butterflies outside the window, I opened my journal. For days I have wanted to journal about some significant things in my heart. The ideas were based on the vision I see for my life, the dreams I have hidden in my heart.
There are times where I find myself burning within me, for something greater, for something meaningful, for something outside “myself.” Those moments come and go in between my struggle to stay vision driven and the weakness of becoming a prisoner of the urgent things that try to suck the very life I live.
The page for today’s journal entry was titled “A Place for Dreams.”
{How my God knows where my heart is standing.}
I was really excited to begin journaling. As I tried to gather the dreams I held in my heart I began to feel a bit odd.
At the start, there was a struggle, I could not concentrate and put my vision into words. However, I as I wrestled through, I felt myself getting closing to my dreams. And then my dreams came alive again!, even bringing birth to a newer dream, one I’d never dreamed before. –{The power of finding time to rejuvenate oneself. }
Even at this very moment, I feel that a process of dreaming has initiated within me. I don’t feel I am quite finished with today’s journal entry.
Therefore,I feel the need to dedicate myself to days as today.,
where I can sit…,
appreciate the beauty of God’s creation…,
ponder…,and
listen to what God has placed within me.
“We must must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And I know that some dreams can overwhelm me… so I chose to take it a step at a time.
Dear Lord, teach me to be patient with myself as I rest in you knowing that I can trust you for all things.
Today has marked another special day in the History of my Life.
I <3 you Lord.
