I’ve got nothing of my own to give to you…

March 14th, 2005 Leave a comment Go to comments

4-page paper due in ENGL399, 4-page paper due in ENGL443, 8-page paper due in Film Studies, Midterm exam in ENGL443, Exam 2 in MUSC205, Project proposal due, Concert administration and bureaucracy, frustration and stress of my living situation, LIVID about how people are treating me, ANGRY about how I’m the only one NOT excited about spring break, TICKED OFF that I’ve not got enough time to even EAT, INFURIATED over how easily someone can dismiss me….

Impatient…about what God is doing in my life and weeping about how much I hurt inside. Struggling because I feel like I’m holding on to slippery air.

Because I’ve got nothing of my own to give to you…
The light that shines on me, shines on you…
It makes everything, everything…
Beautiful…again.

    Wow!
    It sounds like you have a lot going on in your head! Not a lot of time to be silent.

    Have you considered spending some time to be quiet. I mean… Absolutely quiet. Not even reading scripture… just absolute silence?

    Just wondering.

    I’m pretty confident in what’s going on in my life. I’ve just got a lot on my plate…and I’m juggling balls…and I’m trying to keep my life together.

    To answer your question, no. I don’t think that really helps me. It really helps me to pray and just talk with God about it. It’s just that this is now the 5th week where I’ve been stretched to my limits and I’m just not sure how much further I can go.

    And spring break will not be a break for me.

    That is a lot on your plate!

    One thing I have been learning in my devotionals is (to put it bluntly) God wants me to shut-up some of the times.
    It was actually a sermon at McLean Bible that let me start thinking that God speaks through silence. Not just our silence… but His as well. Then as I was going through Becoming a Vessel God Can Use by Donna Partow – she mentioned the topic of silence as well – but on our part whereas the sermon was about God’s silence.

    Sometimes the silence isn’t to help you – but just let God enjoy your presence with Him.. and vice versa.

    P.S. The sermon is here and listen to it here.
