Random Tidbit

Currently I am listening to the continuous cycle of instrumental praise on Pandora and the sound of cicadas until the early hours of the morning attempting to calm the whirlwind in my mind, but to no avail.  The last few weeks have been nothing short of pure torture as my mind continues to race; never once does it stop to pardon me with one brief interlude of silence.  Therefore, I have resorted to taking up my old habit of writing to clear my thoughts and perhaps find a bit of divine clarity. Typically in essays for school, I excel at forming thesis statements and composing eloquently written introductions.  I never once hesitate on where to begin for I know the goal is to prove, support, or provide an argument in a concise manner. As I write the first paragraph, the conclusion is already formed in my mind. However, free writing, such as this, is a completely different art. Generally, I have no clear purpose other than the burning desire to see my thoughts written in words and read what the Lord has laid on my heart the past few days.  It always amazes me how much God teaches me through writing. Never once does the Holy Spirit fail to speak to my heart directly as I type out words that He has laid on my heart. Although I would love to take credit for some of the profound, wise statements I type, I know that it is completely inspired by the Lord, and it humbles me every time that He speaks to me in such an intimate way despite my unworthiness.
