So, it turns out that to blog on a regular basis is really easy when you start, and then it gets a lot harder when you have such inconcistent internet (thanks bethany wireless). Anyway, the end of another school year, for me at least, sorry to all you who have to endure at least two more months of school. Well it has been a crazy sweet year, tons of fun, tons of sweet stuff going on and a lot learned, and still learning. Yet, while it comes to the end you start to look back and see what happened and where you are going from here on. To look back on this school year, it has not necessarily been easy. That actually is an understatement it has been a crawl.
Now don't get me wrong this year has been a blast, it has been incredible in so many ways, and I have met so many new people, and have been blessed with so many new friends. Yet, there is a lot of information coming in, as I have said in a previous post. I am the type of guy who needs to dwell on things in order to help make it my own. To really understand it and to be able to say that i truly do believe it, I feel that I need to test it, and see if it applies to my life, and then I feel that I can then truly believe it, and make it a part of who I am. This is not the easiest thing to do at school here. There is a lot of information, and it is all really good stuff... but it all comes at the same time, and it never stops coming. Now this is also not a bad thing, because new information is good, even reitterating things I already new is a great thing... but I hate not being able to make these ideas my own by dwelling on them.
Thinking about all this and trying to figure out when i was going to find the time to actually work through it all during the summer and up into next year, where I will get more... I came to the realization, this never stops. This SHOULD never stop, I realized that I do not think there is ever a point where we can stop dwelling on the ideas that are in the Bible, and the lessons we can learn from them. This process is how we make it our own, and to just stop dwelling on it is like saying you know it all. Well let me tell you something, there is only one who knows it all and he ain't even among any of the 6 billion people on the planet earth. (Ok well he used to be on the earth). So next time you skip a Bible story because you think you know every angle of it, next time you don't want to pick up your bible because it is boring, or because you don't understand it... Do not fret... because everyone deals with it... dwelling on these things is a lifelong process, some things we will never know, some things we will gain new insights into them. But keep looking, because God always wants to use the mundane and the "ordinary" and show you something EXTRA ordinary
