I'm late, and feeling rather indifferent.

 I'm late...as far as posting goes, and so are my books from the Library.  I had this goal in my head that I wanted to blog at least weekly, but that never happens, and I don't really think I'll be making that happen anytime soon. But, I figured out how to post songs on here, which made me super happy. So, along with pictures, music will be added frequently (my idea of frequent maybe be different than yours.) Anyway, whats new? Quite a bit, actually. I'm feeling rather indifferent about all the busyness though. Life is good. In the midst of feeling like I'm running all the time, it's very calm. Far from complacent however, which is a very good thing. I'm learning new things, growing, being stretched, and stepping out in faith as the Lord shows himself faithful more, and more everyday. Early mornings and late nights are still my favorite, the sunrises and sunsets over the lake have been my constant companion over the past few weeks...I wouldn't have it any other way. Music has been written, and I think I'm falling in love with it again. Hope all is well for those of you who are reading, enjoy your spring break, (if you get one), and may you be filled with peace. 

A different kind of grey...

Today was warm and grey, the sky and lake matched each other in different shades. Grey is one of my favorite colors, so it was calming. It has been raining here off and on, and February has snuck up on me.  I keep forgetting what day and month it is. Oh well, life goes on...

A thought to end your day...

For it is not so much of our time and so much of our attention that God demands; it is not even all our time and all our attention; it is ourselves. For each of us the Baptist’s words are true: “He must increase and I decrease.” He will be infinitely merciful to our repeated failures; I know no promise that He will accept a deliberate compromise. For He has, in the last resort, nothing to give us but Himself; and He can give that only insofar as our self-affirming will retire and make room for Him in our souls. Let us make up our minds to it; there will be nothing “of our own” left over to live on, no “ordinary life… What cannot be admitted – what must exist only as an undefeated but daily resisted enemy – is the idea of something that is “our own”, some area in which we are to be “out of school,” on which God has no claim. For He claims all, because He is love and must bless. He cannot bless us unless He has us. When we try to keep within us an area that is our own, we try to keep an area of death. Therefore, in love, He claims all. There is no bargaining with Him.” -C.S. Lewis from "A slip of the tongue" (The Weight of Glory)
