Reaching

In writing, I want so much to reach beneath the words. I want to dig and reach beneath the ideas to their foundations and search and acknowledge the One who breathed life into them. Often it's just way too hard for me to write about an idea because i just want to keep on reaching. When I think I've got my thesis figured out, there comes into my head a whole new aspect that i want to -- i NEED to-- explore. It makes it nearly impossible to finish an essay. i enjoy writing. i enjoy exploring. But the ocean of ideas that I need to explore is so incredible vast, i find myself getting lost in its storms and wasted in its waves.

Oh how I wish to be stimulated! I must explore! In being, I must grow.
Exploration and growth are so essentially necessary to my being, but I am often overwhelmed with the depths of life. Everything is connected, every idea is intertwined, creating a network or labyrinth through which I must find my way if I wish to make "an attempt" at an idea. How complex and abstract my mind seems. I will figure it out soon, I think.

Goodness

Truth

Beauty

Love

These things I reach for. Mostly because God is good and His words are true and His laws are beautiful and He loves us more than we can fathom.

I'm glad I'm going to school this fall. I don't think I could go much longer without.
