Tonight it's late...

Now that some time has passed since I wrote my disclaimer, I'm feeling the urge to write again. And yet I cannot for the life of me decide what to say. Tonight I had two meaningful conversations with people. The first is one of my very dear friends soon to be moving to Uganda and the other an old friend who has moved away. I am so thankful to have this handful of people in my life that can see beyond the immediate and look inside of me and pull out the greater things. I highly reccommend it. Get some people like this in your life. Life is not always as you wish it to be. And some people might revel in the low moments of others. And if your life is surrounded by folks like this, then my advice to you is to scrap it and make some new friends. You see a true friend looks beyond the momentary struggles and external constraints and speaks to the greatness, the goodness, the powerful person inside of you and calls that person forth. Through many trials we enter the Kingdom. These trial often are to help us shed off character flaws like an old garment. Walking through the process of wrong choices causes us to walk away from strife and into the Kingdome of God. I am seeking the peace of God. Jesus said that His peace He left with us. And I am looking for His peace to fill me as Paul said whether I am abased or abound. Jesus has been re-focusing my eyes upon him. He has been causing me to walk in a way that in these days I have had to go back and make some things right that I made wrong. We cannot cry out for Justice with bloodied hands. His love is primary thing. His love is central to what we need. His love is the essence. His love is the substance that I need to be smeared in, dunked in, bathed in, drowned in, until I am full.
