Deep, Meditative Thoughts

Lately, my mind has been blank and shallow so to speak. I can't focus for any amount of time it seems and have been walking around aimlessly. I have contributed this to the pregnancy. I can't say I wasn't enjoying walking around in oblivion as a friend stated earlier this week, but today is different for some reason.

Today, I read a status on facebook this morning about being lost and needing a map to anywhere. I'm not sure where my response came from but it has me thinking.

Here's my response:
you already have the only map needed by anyone. Open your Bible and look inside. Worldly maps can lead you in the wrong direction no matter how good the intent was in giving it to you.

I think this is more for me than the person I posted it too. I don't open my bible near enough. I lack discipline in that area of my life. The thing I need the most on a daily basis and I neglect it. There is so much going on in my life right now and I use that as an excuse when I should be doing the opposite and digging deeper into the Word.

Another posting I responded to was posted back in June and for some reason popped up on my sidebar today. The post was about mirrors and the ups and downs of life. My reply was another reply God gave me.

Life is a rollercoaster of emotions, highs and lows, carnival mirrors and reflective mirrors. I prefer to stand in front of the carnival mirror and laugh myself silly. A reflective mirror scares the crap out of me because it forces me to see inside myself or *the outside of myself*. There is only one other reflection I look upon and that is the one in which God see's me. I get stuck there sometimes wondering how He can see me the way He does, and the simple answer to that is unconditional love.

I am sitting here amazed at what God see's. A song comes to mind Nichole Nordeman's~Anyway. I think today I'm going through a restoration!
