Restless monkeys

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:26:24 -0400

Sometimes you just have to stop and take a second to regather your thoughts. Sometimes (like right now) my thoughts are left spinning like a couple teenagers doing donuts in the library parking lot after dark. I think the thing that bothers me most when I can’t get a grip is that I want to capture, or maybe relate my thoughts to someone else. I have been thinking a lot about how we take the good gifts that God has given us and made them our gods. Money, things, romance. The funny thing is, we just take it like we are just being REALLY blessed.

Right now I am listening to the almost, typing this (in a dimly lit room) and thinking about how deep thoughts are always stirred up when I am getting by, only because I am clinging to Jesus and letting myself feel Him cling on to me. Jesus is so good.

I am so tired, and I think that is why my head is spinning. Have you ever had those days, when there is no plan and you feel like a lost puppy a bit? That is how I feel today. But the thing is, leaving a restless feeling at home is only a temporary fix. When you return, the restless feeling weighs on you along with the other monkeys perched on your shoulders. It’s a hard thing to deal with. the cure seems so simple. Follow God’s direction for your life. But it’s so hard. You have to face things your trying to deny at times. The thing is, that God understands. You could be like “Sydney, don’t be ridiculous. God has no idea what it’s like to be a teenager. Or God has never gone through a divorce. He has never lived in my house. How can He know what I’m going through?” Here’s the thing. God created everything. How can the creator not know the nature of the creation? He knew-he FOREKNEW everything you would ever say, do, come in contact with! He has a pretty good understanding of your life. In fact, His grip on your life is better than your own. My own. His own.

I am going to go do something with my day now.

just some stuff that HIT ME IN THE FACE.

I was helping my mother hang clothes on the line today, in the screened in porch up in the house. As I was doing this, something struck me. We cannot all afford to live normal lives here on earth. We must hold to Gods plan for us, not what SEEMS logical. That is a huge comfort to me. As Christians we have a purpose for doing seemingly nonsensical things. god has a plan for those things. We suffer at times. And to humans in general, suffering for something other than ourselves seems ridiculous, because we are all very concerned about ourselves. I had a bad week last week, but God has a plan for everything that has happened. God is going to show His power somehow in every situation that got me down. We can’t “shrink back” as the book of Hebrews puts it. It is extremely difficult to view your life as a circumstance that we live outside of. We do not reside on earth, we were merely put here temporarily to bring more people to this lovely God that we serve. Our ultimate residence, where we will spend eternity is heaven. We must keep that in mind as we “plan our lives” because this place isn’t our home. Having your own plan makes it pretty easy to get comfortable on this earth. I truly believe that I have been wanting out of the place I am in for the lack of comfort. It hit me like a ton of bricks when God reminded me of the reality here. If God is asking YOU to take a step of faith, man you should do it. What WE gain in this life doesn’t matter in the big picture. We humans are all about the big picture, huh? ;) But really. I know it’s hard. At times you would like to crawl under a rock. It makes me tired just thinking about it sometimes. God is always good though. He always will be and everything He tells us to do is what is best, even if we never find out why.

Oh this week...

Sat, 08 Oct 2011 20:16:14 -0400

You know THOSE weeks? Where you are constantly having a problem, breaking something, messing something up, getting hurt, tripping over things, being stressed out, and just living through it? Yeah that wasn’t this week. This week was the week that I remembered how much I need God in my life. I have been overwhelmed and homesick a lot of it. The devil is really trying to speak lies to me and it’s been very hard to cope with things. Turning points are so difficult to manage most of the time. It’s hard when your every inclination wants things to be one way (usually the human side of you..) and your spirit knows that your doing the right thing. It’s tiring. Being pulled in the direction of human nature, your natural way of doing things and striving to follow your heavenly Fathers wishes. Eh. I can’t do it on my own. That is why I need God. Isn’t it wonderful that instead of us humans trying to get to a standard that we will never reach, all the while fearing hell, we can cling to God and strive for perfection and He will come in where we fall short? I am without words. It’s Him pulling us towards Him. The whole goal is for Him to have glory, and He is helping us give Him glory. It really puts into perspective how puny and wretched we are, does it not? I am thankful for Him. This week has been hard. God is big. That’s all I have to say about that.

Also, can I please just shout for JOY! The band has some INCREDIBLE stuff going on. God has been awesome.
