Brain Dump

Definitely some random thoughts tonight... If this doesn't seem to flow, it's because it's just a 'dump' of my thoughts...bear with me....

Found this quote on 'Zann's blog:

This journey is my salvation. And it needs to be all about Me.

Hmm...I'm pondering this quote. It sounds inherently selfish, or is it inherently self-preserving? Wondering...Hmm...

What lies ahead of me I have no way of knowing.

As I wrote that last sentence, it sounded vaguely familiar. After some thought, I realized it's similar to a line from Tom Petty's song, It's Time To Move On:

It's time to move on,

time to get going

What lies ahead,

I have no way of knowing

But under my feet,

babe, grass is growng

It's time to move on,

it's time to get going

This moment is perfect in all of it's questions and heartaches.

And yet, I need to move on. How can one be moving forward and yet still feel like you're not making headway? Such is life and you just gotta trust in the process.

It's all about you, Lord. Use me where I'm at. You've put me here in this space-time continuum and it's for a reason and a purpose. Help me to fulfill it. Help me to surrender to it. If what I want and what I desire is not according to your will, then help me to accept that and to move on in faith and into your image.

You know the troubles that are in my heart and I need your help dealing with those things. Help me to let go of certain fears, certain people, certain idolization of issues and things that don't allow me to grow. If there's a lesson to be learned, help me to learn it and to learn it well so that I can move on and move forward towards the great plans that are in store for my life.

And with that, I lift up the cares and concerns of my heart, knowing that you are a good god and that you will be faithful to me if I wait patiently upon you.

In your son's holy name,

Amen
