this morning...

i thought about how silly we are for taking ourselves so seriously too often. i pondered on the significance of buoyancy in regards to ourselves and found it to be a trait that i must pursue in greater depth. i made an inventory in my mind of some of the world's most beloved figures and realized that they'd gotten where they did by putting great weight on everything but themselves. they knew that their lives were merely vapors, and so they spent their days with true passion but light hearts. most significant is the realization that when i take myself so seriously, i seem to be diminishing the weight i should put on the cross and the power i should surrender to the Lord. what makes my heart light again is remembering what a relief it is to let Papa take over for me. i don't ever have the answers anyways...not enough or not the right ones, at least. i might as well give it over to Him. it was too hard to pretend.
