Slowly awakening mind swirling all around with thoughts. It's a brand new day sun shining choices to make, so big, so small, confusing and straight forward. Right from the beginning sin crouches at the door and desires to have me. I am no great man, sick as a dog, dirty as a pig, will I overcome it?
The mind traces back and forth oh what to do, be passive or keep upright? I believe hesitation is a snare in our temptations, it's almost like be bold from the start or not be bold at all. However we might break trough, but only to be tempted again, it is an on going battle facing evil each day. Each one is tempted by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
I sit here and wonder were will I be in a year, 5 years 10? What is my motive in life, a passion or desire? It seems they somewhat change all the time, I can't fix my mind on something or be totally driven for anything in particular. The human mind is so messed up, confused and unsure, or proud not and caring, or caring but knowing how to use the care. Maybe I'll be a famous drummer, win the 2010 crank worx slope-style comp, own a bike shop, be a missionary, youth paster, carpenter, or maybe I'll die tomorrow. And what if I died, would I have accomplished all I wanted, all I desired? If I did would it really matter? Life can seem so meaningless and pointless. There is a time live and a time to die, and what after that? So what is my hope, were does my heart really lie, what does it long for, what really matters?
There is something out there, something beyond that every being longs for. There is something to live for, and live with, it is not so far away. "But the person who keeps her head up so she can look out toward the future of others-this is a person with some range to her hope." (Cornelius Plantinga Jr. Engaging God's World: A Christian Vision of Faith, Learning, and Living.) Live by this.
