keylljyn-clos: woods of rest

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately..I did not wish to live what was not life..nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life..reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean..to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world, or if it were sublime, to..be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.~Thoreau

What's the next step? Who do I feel called to be with? Where am I called? What am I called to do? stress, confusion, mayhem (ok, maybe not mayhem). but I'm tired of it Lord. It's been keeping me from thinking about things that I should really be focusing on. Like You. Like why I was confused by the speaker at the last training block. Like what am I going to take away from what I've learned today. I can't get my mind out of missing people, people back at home, who I'm aching to see again, people here, who I look at from across the room and with a small ache know that I will be so incredibly homesick for them in just a few months' time. I'm tired of worrying about work, school, boiler rooms, community, and where the heck am I going to live this summer. I want to stop that for a bit. can we focus on the bigger things, things like why the session on Your kingdom thouroughly confused me, and what am I taking away from this that I will be able to talk about to my kids back home at Flood. I want to take time to just think about what I believe about You, why I'm doing this whole Christian without religion thing, and how I want You to be the center, the focus, the reason behind and the driving force to all that I do in the future, tomorrow, in the next hour. Honestly, I just want to spend time with You. Can it be just You and me, here, now?
