disconnect

I don't know if I've ever felt this spread out. Not really with activities and classes, just with people. The community that I have in Statesville, that I grew up with and love, that I wish I could see daily, I see them just monthly, if that. My sister's in Texas, Snook, Texas. and pregnant. In Chapel Hill, I have so many friends that I love and who I know love me, but I can't make myself see them enough. If I see one of them, I have to give up seeing another. If I spend time with one group of friends, I lose precious bonding moments with another and feel disconnected with them later. I'm trying to stay close with so many people, that I'm disconnected with all of them.

uh-oh.

stop.

We can stop trying to make something of our lives: that's already been done. Christ.

We can stop trying to do things that will assure ourselves of our relationship with God: that's already been done. Christ.

We can stop blaming ourselves for the dust that our lives have become. Everything will return to dust. But our lives will one day be made complete: in Christ.

How do we let days, even weeks, go by that we don't remember Christ and the REST that can be given to us?

"Rest in Christ is the mark of a Christian, confidence in Christ's sufficiency, not ours."
