In other news, I feel like these past few weeks have been an exercise in wandering. Wandering around the house. Wandering around job postings. Wandering around blogs. Wandering around the kitchen, the fridge. Wandering around town. Wandering through devotions. Its not exactly a comfortable feeling. Rather like going in circles. I'm getting things done, but at the same time there's this lingering feeling that I'm missing something. I feel a little too unintentional. A little too much like I've forgotten where I was supposed to be going. These lyrics from Bebo Norman's song, "Time Takes Its Toll", hit home today:
Have I become a soul so numb
All too familiar
Words of gold have all grown cold
Over and over
I need to see you in the sunrise
Time takes its toll on us
And it tries its best just to steal our love
And we bend and we break but we don't give up
Time takes its toll on us
From the start you touched my heart
And turned it in to something more
Beautiful, you're beautiful
So why does it have to be so hard
To see you in the sunrise
Time takes, time takes away
Love remains, love remains
I'm managing, moving forward with life. And yet it's not quite enough - not quite like being fully alive. I need to see God in the sunrise and know that he's ever present. I need to make time to focus on others and pour into their lives. I need to pray for those I love, and take time to celebrate the good things in life. More than anything, I think I realize just how much I need God's grace, and how much those around me need it as well.
