Over a year ago, I started this blog, and I haven't written anything since. I could say it's lack of time. I could say it's lack of skill. Maybe it's just lack of me--that better me that I wanted to find. How much does looking for and finding a better me depend on my surroundings and the people in it? Can I find the better me if I stay where I am and with the same people?
Some of these questions don't matter much because I'm unwilling and/or unable to leave my surroundings and some of the most important people in my life depend on me so I can't leave. There are days like this one, though, when I want to escape to a warm, semi-humid climate and be free of all my responsibilities. Not that I want to be lazy. I have many passions--education, travel, and service to others. I just feel trapped by my circumstances some times.
In all of these feelings, I know I still have God. Praise God that I have him. Praise God that he has me. Praise God in my suffering. Praise God in my misery. Let everything that have breath praise the Lord.
How am I going to praise him today? I don't know, but I'm going to make it anyhow.
Praise God!
