The last 24 hours have felt like a whirl wind. Due to feeling crazy I decided it would be good to read from my favorite book I am reading for school right now "Not The Way Its Suppose To Be". As I read I thought I need to put this in my blog. Here are some words from what I read today.
"What are some features of this flourishing? As Christians see her, a spiritually whole person longs in certain classic ways. She longs for God and the beauty of God, for Christ and Christlikeness, for the dynamite of the Holy Spirit and spiritual maturity. She longs for spiritual hygiene itself- and not just as a consolation prize when she cannot be rich and envied instead. She longs for other human beings: she wants to love them and be loved by them. She hungers for social justice. She longs for nature, for its beauties and graces, for the sheer particularity of the way of a squirrel with a nut. As we might expect, her longings dim from season to season. When they do, she longs to long again.
She is a person of character consistency, a person who rings true wherever you tap her. She keeps promises. She weeps with those who weep and, perhaps more impressively, rejoices with those who rejoice. She does all these things in ways that express her own personality and culture but also a general "mind of Christ" that is cross-culturally unmistakable."
... her longings dim from season to season. When they do, she LONGS to LONG AGAIN... SHE LONGS to LONG AGAIN... long again...
