Now that i have no time or am too exhausted to spend time with God, i regret the times that i was simply just too lazy to do it.

Jesus in a box.
This is my journal entry from 4/26/2011, it's tough cause I've been thinking about this past summer so much, and the upcoming summer as well, but i thought i would share it.
"Three hundred and twenty-six.
That's the number of days it has been since i arrived at the place that has changed my life. Twice;
Once as a camper.
Once as a work crewer.
I honestly still think about it every single day and i miss it fervently. I just felt so complete there, I felt so close to God. It seemed like he was always present there. Like he lived there. But i think i tried to leave him there. I put my unfathomably big God in a box and left Him there at Rockbridge for the next time I came back. Not as if i knew when that would be...
Now I desperately need to get Him out of that box, but it seems as if I've forgotten how to open it. I sit here everyday and struggle to open it, clawing at it until my fingers bleed. Sometimes i can rip enough open to take small peeks inside, but i find it's hard to see much through my tired, tear-blurred eyes. So i give up, and leave the box for another time, for another merciless day.
It seems that I've forgotten what I wrote in my journal exactly 10 months ago today,
"Jesus doesn't just live @Rockbridge."
A simple statement, written in the middle of the page, with no context. It's like He knew i would need that sentence later on. But why do i so often forget it? Why can't i just trust that it's true? And why can't i get this fucking box open?! I just want to feel Him like i did back in June. I just want to feel something. I want my best friend out of that box."

I was going to write a post tonight, but I feel like I've lost all my words. I don't know what to say.

My feelings written on a McDonald's napkin
I can’t put into words what I’m thinking
Most of the time.
Hanging on the edge, looking out
Over the possibilities and the
Plethora of opportunities that
Exist for my life in its current state.
Lets take a couple steps back now
Examine everything that is
Set out in front of me here.
Something’s telling me I need to
Let my heart win this time,
Yet everything else is saying,
Imagine what would happen if you did.
Now I'm just stuck, with a little over a year
Left to untangle this mess
Of life and love that I'm wrapped up in
Vagueness is settling into the future but
Eventually it all will become clear

you are loved.
You are of so much value. Know you are loved.
My Child,
