Are my brakes broken?

Chaos, the things around me starting to zip by, faster, faster, and faster....now a blur! Why can't I slow down? Are my brakes, my ability to say no and slowly decrease this pace, is it all broken? The answer to this is no! I am still capable...but how?

Life seems to just be so busy. College life is not easy...better yet life is not easy. I feel that lately on many different issues, whether life is so fast paced and busy, is a lesson on patience and faithfulness. Lately it has been told to me, from a man of great faith, that only will we be able to fully draw near to the Lord unless we first admit our weakness. This is something that in the chaos I've been crying, yelling, out to the Lord....I'm WEAK! The part of being revived, refreshed, is much like my latte that I just finished, it was like a small dose of revival. I know that might sound ridiculous but really, think about it all. That burst of caffeine is much like how God will get us through the hard times when we fully dive in to Him.

So yes, you did just read that I compared the glorious, Holy, empowerment of God to a tall Latte. But in reality it fits. Simple as it may be, so is God....He's a complex God but simple. How this is possible will always amaze me. But in those times, lately for instance, where I am just so overwhelmed with the busy times and need the energy...I must trust in my Eternal energy drink. That is my prayer time, resting in the Lord. I challenge all who are reading this to take some time tonight, and join me in a time of "reveling in the Lord". That is my newest phrase for what I am doing in life, or desiring. The word "revel" is defined by Webster Dictionary as: to take great pleasure or delight. How awesome is that....to take great pleasure in the Lord, to delight in the presence of an Almighty Being, our God and King. Makes me just feel at peace. So, go and revel in the Lord this evening, get on your knees, fall before Him and be real, broken, humbled before our God. Taste what He has in store for us...
