I think the word splendor is something we sometime just take for granted. For the last 3 days, I have been awakened by a stirring within me. All I want to do is wake up before the sonrise, watch the beginning of a new day while reading from God's word and just sit. This morning in the worship service, the common ground band played an old favorite song of mine, "Sit with Me A While". It made me reflect on the buzyness I have in my life. I never have time to just sit. I teach and speak to students about not getting caught in the Mary/Martha syndrome, but I find myself there more often than I like. But there is so much work to be done, so much to do.
Another revelation : This week, I have accepted the fact that I can not reach every student, but I can reach students one at a time. I've know it for years, but in talking with other collegiate leaders, they gave me some depth and insight in that area.
Rewind: In going back to the busyness of life: it's nice to just sit and reflect. Sit and think. Sit and meditate or just SIT. Life's going by so fast. But all the effort is so worth it. Tonight, I witnessed someone return to Christ. Someone I have been praying for, for years. It was through the beauty of being "broken". It was a true thing of beauty. True weeping is such a God thing. But through the flowing and flooding of tears, joy is released and inner peace is restored. We talked afterwards. The strange thing is, I knew it would happen. I wasn't sure how or when but I knew it would. God's grace and mercy is so sufficient. I sometimes feel so inadequant to do what I do, I guess that's just another God thing.
peace i give u, peace i leave with you.
