"Painting by Chagall"
Thunder rumbles in the distance, a quiet intensity
I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me
You're the moon, I'm the water
You're Mars, calling up Neptune's daughter
Sometimes rain that's needed falls
We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall
All around is sky and blue town
Holding these flowers for a wedding gown
We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us.
I am humbled in this city
There seems to be an endless sea of people like us
Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets
In our rooms filled with laughter
We make hope from every small disaster
Everybody says "you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try."
Still everybody says that if they had the chance they'd fly like we do.

that song is really confusing. haha. but i looooove it. if you have time, you should google it and listen to it. actually while you're at it, you might as well look these up too: solace and la vie en rose. :) these songs totally cheer me up.
anywhos... i've been thinking about a lot of things. most of them are about the future. where i'll be, what i'll be doing, who i'm going to be (with), etc etc etc. :) hey, i'm not worrying. i'm just wondering. and also, trying to figure out what path to take to get to where God wants me to be. i don't know where that is, but i have to find the right path... i don't want to be on a road that leads to nowhere.
it's hard to figure out what i want. it's even harder to figure out if what i want is what's good for me... if what i want is what God wants for me. i don't see God's will for my life as something that i will not enjoy... because i know that if i'm completely obedient and if i trust him wholly, i will find complete joy and peace in whatever He has in store for me. what i don't know is if my desires for a certain future is God's will for me. i suppose i can't really know that... but i have to be able to discern.
is God's will an endpoint that i'll get to no matter if i start on point A or B or C? is it something concrete and unchanging? or does it change with each decision i make? what happens if i ignore a nudge from the Holy Spirit? do i get another nudge or does it completely alter the endpoint? does God have control over the endpoint -- if He does, does that invalidate our freedom of the will? does it matter where i am and what i'm doing as a career if i'm glorifying Him in whatever i've chosen to do, wherever i was?
too many questions. gah. hey, maybe some of you can try to help me out with these things. :)
well, i'll continue to ponder.
good night.

I've always thought that if you ignore a nudge from the man upstairs, he just nudges you again (i.e. Jonah, David, Saul).
