My thoughts have been all over the place the last months. I have found it difficult to talk about what I am thinking about (Genae knows all to well). I figure writing them out might be the most effective way to both process what it is I am thinking, as well as communicate what is going on in my head. My thoughts of late have been focused on one of my favorite topics, me.
The past week has been a glaring reminder of how selfish I still am. I have been frustrated, if not livid, at God. My anger was not based in theological questions or anything profound. Rather I have felt like I have not been getting out of this relationship what I feel I deserve. I have served God for my whole life. Been willing to give everything to do anything for him. Yet, in my time of need, he has not delivered what I want. I want financial security..I want to be satisfied in my vocation, I want to feel like I am a vital roll in what is going on around me.
What I have found God saying to me these last few days is simple, "Look to my face, not my hands." I so quickly look for what God is giving me, and I miss out on Him altogether.
