So my brain is full. And sick. Which makes thought hard, and yet I have much I am thinking on-actually Ty and I are probably in the same boat there. Anyway, this weekend I got to go to Chattanooga with a friend to hang out at a Christian music event with full access passes. We had a group of people that all just met and actually had a really good time. We stayed with another girl friend of mine in Chatt. It was quite fun and not your everyday girl time! It is always good to get away from the family for a night and the kids to have dad time and to get some rest. Although, I now officially have "the cough" so that is not so fun...In the midst of this I've been doing a lot of thinking about some of the ways God has been showing himself to me this past year and a half. I'm being challenged so much in who I believe Him to be and getting home today hanging out with the neighbors just gave me more to think about. That is, through the haze of needing some sleep tonight and a cough and such. I'm caught in between two tensions right now. I don't know how to even explain the tension between who I'm learning God to be and what I'm to do with that. God is blowing away my ideas of who He is with new (and significantly bigger and greater) visions of who He really is. And even though I know He is so much bigger than I am even aware, I'm afraid of some of what I'm learning. I think the fear is more out of a recognition that as I learn more and God reveals more of himself, I become less and that means change on my part. The tension is with letting go and yet, there is such freedom when I do let go of my grasp at control. So...here's to many more releases this year. I
