"the Spirit teaches me to yield my will entirely to the will of the Father. he opens my ear to wait in great gentleness and teachableness of soul for what the Father has day by day to speak and to teach. he discovers to me how union with God's will is union with God Himself; how entire surrender to God's will is the Father's claim, the Son's example, and the true blessedness of the soul." -andrew murray
Wow. I am really humbled and baffled by how selfish and apathetic I can be. I am so in over my head in some many ways, but thanks be to God that I have a hope! and when i realize how blessed i am, it doesn't seem like the weight of the world rests on my shoulders..i wanna do more, i wanna give more, i wanna live more, love more, kiss more, write more, read more, play more......oh, we'll see. I need to study for my test tomorrow..I am actually excited about taking it because I love the class soo much! It's called birth in the family context and it is basically, amazing! I always leave feeling so inspired..it sounds weird i know..i'm so young..i'm not looking to have children any time soon, but the class is so interesting, and especially the idea of midwivery..i'm really into learning anything i can about that. Okay, well, this is mumbo jumbo mix of things but that's me...I really need to be less lazy when it comes to my feelings, lately, i have just been bottling them up, not really sharing much with even those closest to me..i need to work on that..or at least take the time to write..this is a step i guess.
