Josh I totally get where you are coming from man. Since beginning seminary I have endangered myself time and again from being so busy as not to be able to be reflective about how am I doing. I actually contribute part of my meltdown from last semester to not keeping in check on how is it with my soul. Things are better now and I am doing alot more reflection. Between taking care of mom, working a 40-50hr a week job, and going to school fulltime on EXL I am staying busy; but I am finding that keeping one day, a sabbath, to rest on and reflect on how is it with my soul is like milk and honey nourishing me into being more than I can be.

Caught your blog as a link on another blog. Hope y’all are well.

The obvious reference in your post is Psalm 46. It’s such a cool Psalm because we usually read it as “spend some time in prayer.” In context, the Psalmist is talking about warring and trying to earn something that had already been given by God. So God says, “Be STILL. And know that I am God.” Stop trying to be God yourself, trying to accumulate power, trying to make a name for yourself. Just be still and let God be God.

I'm learning to live in the present more and more. Its an easy one to speak and less easy to actually live out.

You are not alone in your struggles but you are surely in small company with those that actually recognize your plight.

...so, how are you doing?

anyone with a name of a tractor is a good guy. Like God told others about Jesus, ‘Listen to him.’
