But, this time, i have found that as the passion burned out, peace remained. I am truly thankful.
One thing i have to remember . . . that just having such an experience is not the "end all." I used to think that way. "When ___x____ happens, my life will smooth out, things will be easier." I have grown since i used to have such thoughts. There is always the next thing.
Because we are human & have to live in the moment, because we have past & future, these experiences don't "endure." We are not made to sustain any one level of something for a long period of time. So for me, that passion is gone, but the memory remains.
I've been thinking about it, & i think this is just the first of a long series of allowing God deeper into my life. I can't think, "Ok, i had that experience. I've now experienced God" & put it on a shelf somewhere. I need to allow God to continue working in me.
Too tired to continue. Hope everyone is having a blessed day. :)
