Monday before the Holy Cross

Daily offering

LORD make me receptive to what you are trying to bring forth in me. You know what is best for the salvation of my soul; I a little child and must be obedient to this rather than my own whims. Give me the ability to be content with the little growth you give me each day.

Help me to have true and unabashed faith in you - that you truly came and saved me; that I should, no, must be joyful.

Are all Apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers?

Are all laborers? Engineers? Set aside your foolish notions.

Purpose
Time
Motivation

I seem to be pivoting between all three combinations of 2/3.

DAPR will give you the daily work and bread you need while the next thing is found. And once we're actually in the paint I think it can actually be interesting and good experience. Is it a mindset shift? Yes. Is it efficiency and not artisanship? Yes. But "real artists ship" at a certain point.

Last evening's breakdown

I don't know what I'm feeling and experiencing right now. Something within me yearns. I can't tell what in me it is - the last bits of the old self groaning and holding on, or the new self saddened at a turn from the path.

I want to be reconnected to work. I want to do things that matter. I want to stop running around frivilously. I want to serve the LORD and know that I am doing so.

Do I want to dwell with Him enough? Do I cherish Him? I feel that I've lost that fervor I had once. LORD, renew a steadfast love for you within my heart.

I'm writhing and struggling. I don't wanna. There's something more I'm being pulled towards.
