A blank shell

Well forgive me again my friends for neglecting you once more. Life has been full of papers and assignments and all that jazz that comes with school. It is extremely hard to believe that there are about 5 or 6 weeks left in this semester and that is an exciting and unnerving revelation.

Anyway outside of school, I have been experiencing this ongoing onslaught of issues that I am having to release into God's hands. They are not all necessarily issues that are bad, just need a little more looking after than what I can provide, and who better to trust than the best ally I have, the Creator himself. He has used me in ways that I wasn't expecting already this week, which comes as a surprise since my focus has not necessarily been starkly fixed on him.

It's a nudging reminder that he needs me to pay attention so that he can use me further, otherwise I'm a blank shell in a shotgun poised for use.

It's not as if God needs me but it is a blessing that he wants me. Oftentimes I get twisted up in deadlines and beating myself up for not finishing a paper on time or something of that nature. But if I am not ready for him then he cannot use me, so it is also a blessing that he providentially led me into situations where I could be of some use. Yet it was a subtle reminder that I could do this and more if my focus was solely where it needed to be. God likes to communicate with me in subtle ways, seems to be the way I get it most. 

Here's to another day of progress in my ever-growing awareness of who I am in Christ. 

All to God.
