Jumbled

It's hard to comprehend all that has transpired in the last month, and all that is to come. I'm thankful for a Saturday to sit and let the jumble of thoughts and feelings work themselves out into something that is cohesive, and sensical.

The only thing constant in the world is change!

It's been quite some time since my last post. I keep telling myself, Oh I'll write about this or that...but then I come home, eat, collapse on the couch, and become a potato. Part of it is just the exhaustion of change. In the last month, I've changed jobs - suddenly, abruptly, and wonderfully. It's almost too much to get my head around sometimes, but it's real; it's true; and I'm learning and re-learning some things. The next big change that's coming full speed ahead is: Another move!!! I'm ready for it, I'm praying for timing, and for the transition. God is faithful though. That much I know for sure.

Music that is good for the soul

Though there is so much I could highlight, I shall focus on just one tonight: Fiddler on the Roof.  Every detail…the dancing, the singing, the story…. It’s just so moving every time.  I love taking in each in every moment.  This is one that I MUST see on stage one day.

Blind-sighted

Everyone has a blind spot. It’s true! We did this experiment in high school that proved it. We were told to place a dot somewhere on an index card. (I’m not sure where)…Then we had to move the card in front of our eyes. In one particular position, the dot disappeared. The reason, my teacher explained, is that everyone has a blind spot. Your imagination “fills in” the spot using information from the immediate surroundings. Because the immediate surroundings were blank, the dot disappeared.

In a similar way, I think that the heart has a blind spot too. Our hearts fill it in with what we know or don’t know about someone’s character. I’m trying to become aware of my heart’s blind spot(s)…so I don’t miss anything obvious. Something that’s there, something I need to know. In doing so, I hope to know truth; I want to judge fairly; I want to be wise and discerning; I want to surround myself with pure and noble hearts.
