I was thinking today that lately my life has felt very busy in terms of being tired and having long days full of work and then labor at home too. But in all the driving I do (hundreds of miles per week typically) I have an opportunity to slow down so to speak and think about the important things in life, maybe get in touch with what's going on in my heart, play the harmonica, pray, dream, think, sleep (I wish), etc... But in all honesty for the past couple of weeks there has been a stagnant reality of me just trying to get through my drive time by stuffing my head with talk radio and music, an intentional noise to dull me until I get back to the office, rather than really letting my heart be still and letting a greater dream and focus emerge. Know what I'm talking about? Can anyone relate? And please know that I love talk radio and music and am not branding them as evil- that's not the main idea of this post.
I guess as a man of faith I am reminded right now to let myself be still and to let myself dream of how I might fit into the local picture of what God is doing and how I might simply be one to partner with that. I guess if my thinking was a fortune cookie right now, the cookie caption would read: Let yourself dream and then act.
