Remembering.
| Quote: |
| To the Church in Sardis 1"To the angel[a] of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits[b]of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. 3Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. 4Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. 5He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels. 6He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. |
I read this the other night before I went to bed, and was heartened by it; at least a little. I've been having a hard time lately, keeping up with everything. I feel like I work a lot; and its not a very fufilling line of work. My days tend to feel very mononotous, and I guess you could say I don't always do well with routine. I've been doing better the last few days, but sometimes I still get a little melancholy, like tonight.
I spent half an hour looking at wedding dresses tonight. I have no idea why. It started off as a quick search for basic clothing designs (something I often for research purposes in Memoria), and I ended up just looking at pages of wedding gowns. Of course I ended up sad, and rather irritated with myself. I certainly don't have a fiance; there's no reason to be looking at dresses, or anything wedding related.
Other than that though, I spent most of the day in bed; just thinking and napping periodically. I worked on next weeks page for a while. I just... want an escape.
After I read that passage, I decided to start trying to remember some of the blessings and promises I feel God has given me. I'm going to try and recount them here.
- 1) I will find my "soul-mate" one day.
2) I will finish my comic.
3) My characters will be known world-wide.
4) Memoria will be published.
5) I will be able to do some philanthropic work with my comics.
6) I will have a daughter.
7) I will have a well done, good and faithful servant.
The last one is the one I hope for the most; though I don't always know if I will. I certainly hope so. posted by Krista @ 24 Jun 2009 09:43 pm 2 comments
