Have a very merry unbirthday, indeed

Not only is today hump day, it's also my half birthday. I'm 21 in six months. Holy shit. And I'm clueless as ever.

  1. So uncool. I come here and was like, wow 4 comments that's awesome, I wonder what well wishing Galen's friends have for him for his half birthday. And what do I find instead? All 4 are advertisements. WTF?

    Aside from that junk, don't worry I'm pretty sure we all feel clueless, but I'm also pretty sure that you're less clueless than you feel. At any rate I think it is this feeling of unsuredness (yeah I'm pretty sure I just made up that word) that allows us to grow and to seek something outside of ourselves to trust in.

    "There is this lie floating around that says I am supposed to be able to do life alone, without any help, without stopping to worship something bigger than myself. But I actually believe there is something bigger than me, and I need for there to be something bigger than me. I need someone to put awe inside me; I need to come second to someone who has everything figured out." (from our beloved Donald Miller in Blue Like Jazz)

  2. They are everywhere now -- the ad-blog-commentors. But I guess that none of us are really clueless. Rather, we know just what God has revealed to us and that's enough.
    Can we trust that it is?

  3. If we really understood the revelation of who God is, do you think we'd look like this? Moses' face glowed for weeks after just a glimpse. Aren't we supposed to be transformed into Jesus' likeness?

    I know God is revealing -- through the logos and the rhema; but I think too few of us are paying any attention. I know I haven't been until recently.
