a time to ramble

Poor forsaken blog. Again. Writing comes in spurts these days, mostly dependent on my periods of introspection. However, this week there seems to have been a resurgence of blogs and I have been inspired to try to write something.

If someone were to ask me what I've been learning lately, I would have a difficult time pinning down exactly what has been brewing in my mind and heart. At times I have felt unsettled, transitory, restless and other times settled, relaxed, and at peace. For me, Summer is an in-between time amidst the giant in-between time of college. Life seems like a state of constant transition, my definition of normal changes every few months.

I was reading 1st John today (one of my favorites, if I'm allowed to have favorites), and was reminded of truths that never change.

"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts and he knows everything."-1 John 3:18-20

Mmmm. That's wonderful truth. My heart is most at rest when I'm trusting Him, and loving others. To this truth I am going to cling in the midst of my in-between times.

P.S. Em, I changed the background to a field of dandelions just for you...dandelion fields forever!! But, sadly...even though I selected the dandelion field...you can't see the dandelions very clearly. Sad day.
