One of my favorite things in life is connecting with friends that I haven't seen in awhile. There is something so powerful about the human one to one connection that I think amplifies with elapsed time. Connections like this can open our eyes and make us realize things we never would have had the meeting never occurred.
I met with a friend tonight that I hadn't seen in a couple of months and she opened my eyes to something I didn't even realize they had been closed to. So much lately it seems like I've been [putting up with] God's faithfulness. It's as if I know God is faithful and he'll do what he'll do, but I'm just getting by with that. It hasn't been something that has excited me in...awhile. When I was talking to this friend tonight, she told me how she wasn't sure about how several situations were going to end up, but she was excited to see how God was going to work them out. I could sense the holy spirit quickening in me---I have been lacking enthusiasm in the works of God! Instead of being grateful and excited about all that he has in store for me that I don't know yet, I've been allowing myself to grow anxious about "what's next". And while I've tried to focus on just being where I am, which is good, I have not been really enjoying every day for God. Perhaps if I began to really meditate on the goodness of God and things done past, I would get a present excitement and a greater sense of anticipation for things to come...?
