| | So today was my first full day back at ol' KSU. It started with "RING"(my cellphone)-"THUMP"(my head hitting the ceiling as I shot strait up on my bunkbed). It didn't hurt, I just had to laugh. Then I clambered down only to find that the only clothes I had in my drawers were dress shirts and pajama pants, an attractive combination. I went out to my car and found the other 3 bags of my clothes, but I still was missing the charger for my phone and I hadn't met anybody new on my floor yet and I was about to die with the thought of not being able to call my mom and Jesse. And I forgot my bible!
I was feeling super disconnected without my material possessions and friends around. Then I went to church and we sang a song that went like
"All my soul needs is all your love to cover me so all the world will see I have nothing; I have nothing without you. Take my time here on this earth, let it glorify all you are worth. For I am nothing; I am nothing without you."
It just made me think about how when we lose things outwardly, it makes us realize how much those things mean to us. If I searched for God as hard as I searched for that charger - I would be a lot more connected to Him.
Well, I found a bag with my charger and a New Testament in it. I'll probably be pondering all I need and what I have and who I am for a while though. Goodnight. |
