Running on empty

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:23-25 (NIV)

() <>< () <>< ()

Something has been bothering me the past couple of weeks and I’ve been having some trouble figuring out exactly what it was. (So I even get lost trying to figure out my heart and mind, so sue me.) I was lying in my bed trying to sleep and ended up having a silent conversation with the Big Man when an idea struck me. And the more I followed that train of thought, the more it made sense to me. My spiritual car is running on fumes. Don’t misunderstand me, I’ve been going to church on Sundays, but I haven’t really been meeting The Church. You know, the fam in Christ. My family group stopped meeting around half a month ago. I’ve been doing my best to not get too close to any sisters. And the brothers that I’m close to are… far away. Esohn80 moved down south. Oneeyedking is trotting around Europe somewhere. Kewlnesscounts is on the other side of earth.

I miss talking about the unseen. Ruminating on the priceless. Sharing praise reports about how God’s been moving and answering prayer. Sharing burdens and lifting each other up. Reflecting on the goodness of Da Man, Jesus. The daily grind is slowly taking its toll on me and I have this growing sense of unease. I feel trapped, alone, and dumb. This walk was never meant to be done alone…

So consider this your personal invitation. I work near UPenn / Drexel. Let’s meet up for lunch. We’ll talk about things that really matter. Like love, purpose, pain, suffering, life, joy, the unseen, the priceless…

And for those of you who don’t live near me. You know what to do. I know there’s brothers and sisters near you. Live it out!

    no need for apologies…i don’t even remember if you did or not (i remember seeing you at cvs, but i don’t think that you were rude or anything) :sunglasses:

  11. haha.  your xanga commenting speed boggles my mind.  I usually do at least one revision to my entries after I put them up (they usually take 5-10 minutes), but you managed to comment before I did it.  Amazing~   =)

  12. aren’t you Hon?? haha..it’s carolyn:P

  13. ya.. haha. Spankie is actually the name of the pig used in those telus ads.. I was so dumb to actually researched it online..haha

  14. I know what you mean, being in the coast guard and moving around a lot, you get use to certain friends of the church and grow close and then you have to move again.  God calls us to edify each other so wherever we go, I’m sure God intended for us to meet new people so that we’ll grow closer to Him through them and not far from Him.
