Today.

Today is one of those days I just want to feel inspired.
Today is one of those days where I just don't feel inspired.
I want my fingers to write out exactly what my heart feels right now, but they just don't know the words.
Life is so different. Such a good different, but that doesn't mean it's an easy different.
No complaining is coming from my fingertips, just honesty.
I feel convicted in my last post to say that we are 'poor, poor seminary students' because in all actuality.. we aren't poor at all! We have clothes on our backs, food in our bellies, a roof over our head, and the Grace which we have been given through Christ. 

We are beyond RICH.

I remember reading something one day about how, as Americans, we really could never call ourselves "poor". Our poorest day is nothing in comparison to many people around the world. What about those people who have absolutely none of the things mentioned above? What if their children are naked and starving? What about them? My heart hurts when I think about how much I take for granted and how little I pray for those people and seek to help them. 

Lord, help us.
Help us to get out of these ruts of self-pity discontentment. 
Help us to get out of our lazy comfort zones.
Help us to seek You first.
  
Amen.
