So, as one could tell, I haven't blogged on here for a while. I don't think many, or any at all, read my blog, but soon I hope to again. I have, however, been writing for a class on onedayheadstart.wordpress.com.
Sufjan Stevens is an amazing musician, and when he and his band create music, it is a beautiful thing. This Christmas time and new year, I want to appreciate family, friends, and music more. Shall you do the same? Seeing the spiritual and the physical in one realm? Here's to trying...
Motives, whatever they may be are driving forces of life. I've learned that I have yet to learn everything. I've also learned to keep an open mind and learn from all experiences, good, bad, and even wrong-motive experiences. This point came home for me when I was sitting after chapel, praying, seeking God's will for my life, and I was waiting for someone to notice, someone in particular because I wanted to show of my spiritual, sensitive side. This particular person left, and I realized that though I was praying to get noticed, I actually connected and was seeking God. This is one reason, one driving force of my belief that though motives may seems wrong, they can turn out doing good, and another point, that God can take bad motives and make them pure.
This is not to say all motives are wrong, but rather learn from everything, but don't look too far into somethings. Something are suppose to be superficial, if everything was deep, then nothing would really seems deep because in essence, everything is deep....everything does have meaning though.
On a lighter side, as if I really have one (which I do), everything else about my life is going well. Today, my 8:55 class was canceled and I was able to run, get my heart rate up and just get out of mundane, busy life, and chill out. And last night I was able to break my schedule, a give some of my sleep to God, by spending time with Him in my thoughts. I guess this really isn't the "lighter side" because quiet times are when God speaks. I believe this is so because He chooses to reveal Himself to us when we reveal our heart to Him and give up our "precious time" to be with Him. For His sake (God's sake) He created us, the least we can do is spend 15-30 minutes with Him. And believe me, this is much easier said then done.
