i would like to start writing in this blog more frequently. i really actually appreciate writing as a means of expressing myself, and as a means of expanding and sharing the thoughts and experiences God has given me. most of all, it’s about God, and it’s about me. It’s about God working in my life. It’s about me realizing that it’s about God. perhaps.
there’s restraint i feel on mediums like facebook and tumblr. it’s as if the whole world knows what i am writing, and i really just want to write to those people who care enough to want to read about my thoughts sometimes. even if it is just typing in a simple url. i would like my thoughts and convictions to fall upon ears that are desiring to hear.
the other day i was running (regretfully for the second time this semester), reflecting on this season of my life– a season of endings, of new beginnings, of seemingly big decisions that might have been quite scary had they been presented to me just a year ago. i ran against the most breathtaking sunset that covered the expanse of the big berkeley skyline. the sun set in an explosion of passionate, vibrant colors, against which everything else took its place. the city quieted, and all that fell beneath the skyline faded in submission. it was beautiful. some of the most beautiful things in life are endings.
the last semester of college comes with so many different liberties, so many different expectations. and at then end of my college career, one of two very different paths could follow. regardless, i want to finish with no regrets, holding nothing back. i’m gonna give everything i am to the tasks which the Lord has called me to in this season of “endings”. a sunset may be a fairly unique part of the day, but it is distinguishable because of its beauty. i’m claiming this last semester of college to be the same–i want to live out my identity and victory in Christ in such a way that sets it apart from the rest. and even beyond these next 6 months, i want that same promise. there is so much in each season, and each new thing that the Lord is doing. there is so much to take in each and every day. i want to go from glory to glory; the sunrise just as glorious as the sunset; each day just as breathtaking as the last.
some phrases that I appreciated:
“it’s as if the whole world knows what i am writing, and i really just want to write to those people who care enough to want to read about my thoughts sometimes. even if it is just typing in a simple url. i would like my thoughts and convictions to fall upon ears that are desiring to hear.”
“some of the most beautiful things in life are endings.”
“regardless, i want to finish with no regrets, holding nothing back…
a sunset may be a fairly unique part of the day, but it is distinguishable because of its beauty. i’m claiming this last semester of college to be the same–i want to live out my identity and victory in Christ in such a way that sets it apart from the rest. ”
