A little insight into my world

This photograph is of my neighborhood, looking down the street from in front of my house. When I saw this cloud I thought it was really cool. Later, when I downloaded it I realized it looked like an angel, a really big angel. I love the thought of a really big angel hanging over my neighborhood.

For whatever reason I haven't been writing much lately. I've been trying to listen for a change. I have finished the study, A Call to Die, that I wrote about. Funny thing is that as soon as I finished it I felt called to do it again. I guess that's the way dying to self is...constant. So, in an effort to really grasp what God is trying to tell me through this study, I have started it all over. Already I am seeing different things than I saw the first time around.

Mostly I want to trust Him more - for everything. I want to live a life that loves. I want to live a life of joy. I want to live a life of thanksgiving in all things at all times. I do not want to be overbearing or "in your face". I simply want to love. I'm learning more and more what that looks like. Sometimes I get it right and other times I do not. I'd like the times I get it to vastly overwhelm the times I don't. I believe it's a process of becoming aware in the moment, not just flashing through the moments but really being present in them. I want to be a listener, someone people can trust to hear them. I've not always been that in my life. Sometimes my mind is a million miles away. I hate when I realize that is happening because I know I've missed something important God was wanting me to experience. So, that's who I am, a mind traveller who has decided to stay home for awhile. This is going to be good.
