Lumos. Love. Nox.
Lumos. I went to my Christian youth group tonight, Eikon (Greek for an image or likeness of something else). The rock concert (yes, we have a rock concert every week) and the sermon were about what we spend our time doing. What is the difference between what’s urgent and what’s important? Bills are urgent. Work is urgent. But God is important. It’s the only relationship where I am unconditionally loved- and the only relationship where I have the opportunity to grow far beyond what I’ve ever imagined. I spend hours on tumblr. I fucking love tumblr. I adore Harry Potter and love what I’m doing here. But, for me, it’s ego. Did the person like my picture, will this person follow me, is my new theme cool, etc. I am NOT saying that is your experience. THIS IS HOW IT IS FOR ME. I am not in the business of judging other people. That is a job human beings will never have. I literally heard God say, “You are putting tumblr before spending time with me. Delete it. Write about why you’re deleting it, give it half a day, and then delete it.” I said back, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. But I know that I value God above all else. So in concurrence with the incredible life God has given me the past 6 months, I will let this go, as I have let SO many other things go. I always think about what God can do for ME. Me, me, me. God can bless me. He does. And I don’t always understand his blessings. The most incredible grace bestowed has been through trials and tribulations- and definite discomfort. I doubt many of you give a shit about this, or you’ll think that following God means a life of no fun, but I’m not here to convince you of anything. I have just been shown over and over and over again that when I follow the voice that makes me say NOOOOOOO, I am happier. I am better. It’s happened enough times that I can trust there is something even more fun than tumblr (hard to imagine sometimes) waiting for me. So I bid you all farewell. I’ve had a kickass time. But I know there’s something greater I’m supposed to be doing with these hours……So, love to you all! Viva Potterheads! Over and out. NOX. :)
