a song I once loved and thought of again this past Sunday at
Liveoak. The line I thought of is
This world has nothing for me and this world has everything.
All that I could want and nothing that I need.
Those lines summarize much of what I've been feeling the past few weeks. I am having a tough time not hanging onto what I know and yet knowing what I have is not all there is. I'm made for another place and yet also for this place. Both are great in their own way, though the future/present place (my real home) is so much better. I'm reminded again of Hebrews 11. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. Perhaps that is what has been happening to me these past few weeks. I think I might have posted on this subject before. I can't remember...
I was walking on campus last week listening to the iPod and going to my next meeting all the while picturing the soundtrack for the song. I could picture live drawings of crisp lines. The lines were swirling and bursting with colors right in front of me. Actually the drawings were more like 30 feet in front of me. I think sometimes my heart gets too big for my mind.
This post might not make sense, but if it does then I hope to hear from you.
