anchors.

i have been most un-productive the past few days. for someone whose to-do list currently holds only one significant task, this is oh-so-sad to the finest degree. i could blame it on the hot weather for creating this lethargy. it would be a lie.

i think in many ways i am learning to just be. to sit. to talk to God in ways i haven't ventured into for quite some time.

i can't stop thinking about hope.

i want to grasp this abstract/concrete idea.

i had one of the greatest conversations of my lifetime last night. my kindred spirit, amy, and i spent over an hour talking about all-things-Jesus and hope and God and glory and peace. it was the kind of conversation that leaves you feeling as though you just left a really amazing church service. you want to walk around the house and just say "amen" over and over. it left me with many things to meditate upon. and a very strong desire.

i want holy wisdom.

among other things, i would love for God to explain to me why hope is an anchor to my soul. and how.

and how i can hold onto this incredible anchor for all i'm worth.
