I ran out of drywall to put up today.
I felt like a character in one of those civilization building games where I ran out of material and didn't know what to do. This was the first time i feel like I found myself a little ahead of where I wanted to be in regards to the basement. In many ways it just feels so overwhelming at times but it is beautiful with the prospect of me leaving this upcoming Sunday that the rest will no longer be in my care. As it slowly takes shape I found myself with much to be proud of.
I wanted to blog though because 1. I have time but 2. cause I wanted to mention some thoughts I have had lately
See, I was talking to my mom the other day as we went out shopping and running errands. We were talking about the holy spirit and how he doesn't seem to shine as bright these days as he did in that 1st century church era. That question of why still bugs me. A great deal in fact. God has healed a lot of my thoughts toward the church and given me a peace in His sovereignty regarding it but I find that the only real question that seems to still nag at my soul and I can currently discern in not trusting in is in regards to this one thought. That is a run on I know. So are my thoughts about such a question.
Perhaps this is the new question I am to search out and God wishes to lead me into.
I could speculate on why but honestly I really don't have that answer. If I had an answer it wouldn't bug me.
But one thought that i can rest in is that God is God. He doesn't communicate like us. He hardly ever speaks in audible words in the way we think of communication and so it is with the Spirit. He communicates without them oftentimes. Perhaps a lack of "display of power" or such lack of words is a testament to his character in an constant attempt for communication on the ways that we don't.
So I ask what would it look like to truly listen to the Spirit?
Anyways some thoughts to ponder on.
Signing off with body sore as usual, but Spirit shining bright within
To His Glory alone
