It is so very hard to understand. Children running the lives of families. Teenagers who behave as angry spoiled children that get whatever they want. I teach these kind of children. They look nice, they smile pretty, the can say exactly the right thing. They might even cry on cue. I know this thought has been thought before BUT ~ what is the world coming to? Will these be the people in charge when I am too old to chastise them? What is the Lord doing? or thinking?
I am frustrated. with my job. with my choice of grad school. with the day to day of life. It makes me doubt myself. It makes me wonder about my viability in the Kingdom of the High King.
and as I said some of this to my girlfriend last nite on the phone … she said it all… this cannot consume me and I should remember what I have been given to offer. His offering. this, from my friend – who has bravely fought the cancerous beast and not allowed it to consume her. I felt small in the conversation – like I should have never complained to her at all.
this reality of life on earth. longing so much for the High Country. when will it come? soon I hope.
still the new reality
