thanks for all of those comments on my last post… i am truly blessed with supportive and encouraging friends, and this knowledge makes me smile and know that it will all be ok. i could write more sentimental things but i’ll refrain. just know that i am thankful for you.
also, read this quote today and felt a pang of truth:
Know that when you seek anything of your own, you will never find God, because you do not seek God purely. You are seeking something along with God, and you are acting just as if you were to make a candle out of God in order to look for something with it. Once one finds the things one is looking for, one throws the candle away. This is what you are doing.��� - Meister Eckhart
i know i’m guilty of doing this with regards to finding a job and moving to austin. but… i’m also hoping that this will also be a cleansing, purifying process that will draw me closer to seeking god and not my own selfish gains…. so this pain, i choose to see it as a good, necessary�kind of pain. a refining period.
I am doing a lot of this pseudo-seeking in my own job search as well. Thanks for sharing– it was a pinch on the arm for me
