Think

I get such a high from my mind being boggled. Today I am so thankful God gave me a mind, to ponder His majesty. To think about tough things. My favorite place is my thinking chair. I always hear the Blues Clues song play in my head, “…and then we got to sit down in our thinking chair and think… think… thiinnnnnnnkkkk…” (that’s what years of babysitting did to me). I love fixing my “comfort drink” as Beth Moore likes to call it, wrap up in my quilt that my best friend made me and dive into the word or a good book with a story line of redemption. I always have note cards by me, to write down any scripture God brings to mind that I need to memorize or idol thoughts I need to surrender. Many times in that chair I have prayed in desperation and cried out in awe of the unbelievable blessings God has given me (a Kleenex box close by is a must). God has brought so much clarity as I sat still there. I’m convinced that people who don’t make time for silence are scared of the truth. The moment when I isolate myself from the world and get alone with Him is when I gradually understand the deeper purposes He has for me. This is my happy place. When I’m still and reminded that He is God. I come and ask Him to make sense of all the things floating around in my head.

What’s Floating in there today:

-that carrot soup I made yesterday was horrible

-The burden I feel for my parents, an urgency I’ve never felt this strong before

-I should really do the treadmill today

-what does it look like for me to understand the reality of the harvest

-I wonder who my future husband is going to be

-wish God will clarify what church I’m supposed to be at

-I miss my roomies

-I’m not selfless enough to be a camp counselor

-I would look really good pregnant

-I really want patio furniture for my apartment

-I really want to start a blog

So evidently I decided I was going to make one of those floaters a reality. TaDa, here it is! I’m the new blogger on the block (and yes I still have some remodeling to do). I love that I finally have an outlet for my thoughts that come to me in my thinking chair. I pray that as I am on this journey of sanctification, form trash to treasure that you will join me. So I welcome open rebuke rather then hidden love (please share your biblical insight with me). God calls us to love Him with our whole mind. So let’s think through the tough stuff. Together.
