I get so annoyed when I get “tunnel vision” and forget the peripheral details of life. I forget to breathe in the fresh morning air… enjoy the cleansing of the Seattle rain… admire the turning of colors in the leaves… take immense pleasure in the positive changes that occur all around me…
I know we all lead busy lives…it’s the paradigm of the Mary versus the Martha… are we sitting at His feet enough or are we just too busy running around, although with good intentions? Or are we just sitting at His feet, clinging to His leg when Christ is trying to get up, expecting us to get up with Him and follow? I think we all have done a little of both… me more clinging than running around lately… but I see all this running around I have to do and don’t know what to think of it…
God doesn’t seem to change situations to make us feel better…but He gently nudges us to find Him in those situations that we may find His peace and His goodness…His purpose even. These moments define our maturity and closeness to our Creator… I think… how quickly we lose sight of our Savior… who can blame Peter for sinking? BUT, Jesus always comes to our rescue when we start to sink, doesn’t He? Even if our prayer is just “Help!”
“But SEEK FIRST His kingdom and His righteousness, AND all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” Matthew 6:33-34
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthe 7:7-8

How you doing, I figured i would let you know about this awesome site called Ontic Sect. There is a forum there and we are building our community. There is a section on the forum for Ps tennis and a public gallery for photoshop work you have completed. Ps tennis if you dont know is basically the sport of photoshop designers, head over to the site, check it out, and maybe even dive into a battle or two. The site is under a month old however our community is growing nicely. Come join the fun. http://www.onticsect.com/forum
