Just call me stampy….

Today was the best day of my semester so far and I say that because it always helps to be positive   So many people are struggling with new schedules and such.  I forget about the days when I used to work twenty hours a week, often getting out at 9 pm.  That was rough, but I did what I had to do.  Now is the time where I regain that mentality.  9-5 isn’t that bad.  So today was good, but no one said I wasn’t tired.

Every now and then I need some alone time.  Just fifteen minutes hit the spot today.  I went to Saints this morning and read about Moses…this struck me.

The LORD said to him, ” Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD?  Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say?”

Sometimes…a lot of times… I feel like I don’t have the right things to say, but trusting God and knowing that He will teach me the things to say or do is just so important.  I’ve been having issues listening to God lately.  Just because I’m so slow to realize that He’s speaking.  It comes from our unwillingness to shift our plans.  Our lack of flexibility and focus on the present.  I’m constantly planning, or looking at my watch when I should just “be”.  It’s like be still and know that God is God; all-powerful, everywhere, almighty.

I’m working to hear God more.  I feel like I’m always starting from scratch spiritually…forgetting the simple things I should have gotten years ago.  But it’s okay because it’s humbling and we all need that sometimes.

Heath Ledger.  The whole situation makes me sad and what makes me even more sad is extremists are making a point to persecute him after death and cause further suffering to his family.  What irritates me about this is that their time could be better spent.  I know that for myself, I fall short of the Great Commission.  Couldn’t the time that they are putting forth to protest a dead man’s funeral be used for telling people about Jesus…the Savior who cleanses us from ALL sin…realized and unrealized?   Yes, it could.  God didn’t picket things.  He went full force into the sinful circles.

I think I could spend a lot of time talking about this, so I am going to stop.
Ranting done.

kay bye!
