fluid

As I dunk my chocolate chip cookies into my coffee and listen to music I am flooded with hope and rest. He is enough. He is more than sufficient. He is total. He is all. He is fulfilling. I have been wondering for quite some time why do I need to recognize these truths? Why must I be aware of them? Because awareness of this means that I must experience and know and feast with their antithesis. Why do I have to experience emptiness, doubt, lack, hopelessness, fear, and pain? If I didn't have this buffet of adversity then I could not know the glory of overcoming, the power of the Holy Spirit, the comfort of Father, the pleasure of hope, and the rest of peace from war.

I live in a conflicted world. I live conflicted. I live enbattled. I guess without this reality there would be no striving, no forward progress, no excellence, no awareness of the cross and its glorious life. We have promise. We have victory. We have. We possess. We own. We belong. We are held.

My life is the art of walking with God and the science of renewing my mind.

I have been reading books by Joseph Myers and thinking about organic life. I have always been about process and master planning. While these two ideas have been great they have been condemning. I needed to read this stuff. It has helped me understand the idea of fluidity, flow, and organic growth in ways that have been very freeing and hopefully will be freeing for others as well.
