Mental Processing as I approach half-year point....

So I set out in 2009 with a pretty exhaustive list of goals...that's just it - they were exhausting.
Don't think I've made any real progress in any of them. Only this is my current goal: Stay connected to Him. fo' real. No joke.

Current meditations of my heart have been: (1) Resting with God. Learning to live at His pace for me. (Personal and Biblical). This is including a better perspective of the Sabbath, the rhythm of rest and work (throughout the week), and in general a holy view of reflection, rememberance, and obeying God in the small things like rest. (I mean, has anyone really sat down and thought about why God wanted His people to rest so much?....why He commanded them to? why He would dare say that they would die (in the earlier days, btw) if they were to violate His commandment to rest?) Seems to me the Creator of my soul is VERY SERIOUS about resting....about CEASING from WORK...about taking time out to STOP and BE. Grant me more revelation God. (2) Just read the book The Shack. Thought it was "tight work." Meaning good and thoroughly but expectedly controversial. .....hmmmmm. There's that word "controversy."
I'm finding that there are two types of ppl those who "throw babies out with murky bathwater" and those who don't. The Shack was rivetingly controversial. A page-turner. Relevant. Real.
Good for the hungry soul. And for those who sincerely desire to get to know their Heavenly Father, it gives very good glimpses of Him.

Gotta go.
