Do you ever have that thing in which you are excited/anxious/nervous/but excited/happy/confused/excited about something, but you have no clue what it is? Like none at all?
Yeah, that's been me all day. Like I feel like I should be stressed about something, but also excited. Of course, coming back to school mid-semester, there's always that kind of ongoing stress. But it feels a little different that that. It feels like I should be anticipating something.
I don't know what it is, but I've felt this before.
Last time I was feeling like this, I spoke to one of my professors about it. She mentioned that it might be my body/soul/mind/etc. that I'm ready for the next step. Whatever that might mean. I've come to understand that it's God trying to speak to me.
Today, during my 15 minutes of silence, I started off by praying. I prayed that God show me some way to navigate whatever it is that is on my heart. So, I am excited to see what God has in store for me.
Often, I find myself muting my body, mind, spirit, what have you. Sometimes, I'll be in a busy part of my life, stressful part of my life, and I will neglect me and what my body, mind, spirit, what ave you, is (or are) asking from me. Parents do this often. They will put all of their time and energy into their kids and work, that they forget about themselves. Not to say that's not admirable, but if the self isn't taken care of, how can one hope to take care of others and/or properly perform the tasks asked of them.
The passage in Corinthians that reminds me a little of this is "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16).
Making sure others have health is important. Making sure you have health is essential to both you (and your spirit, mind, body, etc.) and all around you.
So, to bring it back around, I ask for prayers for whatever it is that is on my heart and mind. Of course, it could just be me pumped for Summer. Nonetheless, I ask for prayers, thoughts, winks, whatever you can muster.
Woo!
