A long time has past, and it has been some time sense I have writen anything at all, I don't even journal anymore these days, maybe I journal once a month. I'm still in the same place, doing pretty much the same things. God continues to be faithfull, and he continues to remind me that he will never leave me or forsake me, even in the really painfull times of life. In those times I cry out, God where are you in this, I'm scared and I don't see what good comes with these hard things of life. Why am I here again? I guess I have felt weary, and weak. I wonder if it's just an awareness of the state of this life on earth, and how flawed it is because of sin. The deepest part of me knows that there's somthing more, something better. It's HIM!
Remember that song we used to sing when we were kids, the one we sang when we wanted to go frolic in the out doors but we didn't because it was raining. Rain rain go away come again some other day. Or the one about the old man, It's raining it's poring the old man is snoring, he got out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning. Why did we sing those songs, I mean what happen to the old man? I remember, a few times, during the summer when I was a kid my parents would let us play in the rain. This sounds strange I think, but I like the smell of wet pavement, and I used to lay on it face up eyes closed, every other sense awake. The side walk would be warm from the summer sun of the day, and the rain falling on me would be cool. I remember thinking this is so beautiful God. To know God, is to really experience life, in a vivid sort of way, to have every sense, AWAKE.
