I've been thinking a lot about New York today. It's been a quiet day at work, and quiet days always get me thinking. So yeah, New York. I've been missing my friends terribly and wondering what would have happened if I had stayed there for this semester. That writing internship with the grad school? Maybe a job in publishing? Life in New York full-time?
I'm applying to the Baptist Seminary here...working towards a full-time life in ministry. If I had stayed in NY, I don't know that that would be happening. I'm at a point in my life where I can see myself heading down several different paths, each one good and fulfilling and wonderful. I could be happy doing a lot of things. But it's not enough. I'm not content to just be happy...happiness is too flimsy. What I want is bigger than that. What I need is bigger than that. To live my life for something bigger than myself...that's what I need. It's the only thing that will bring me joy...something so much more stable than the ever-ellusive happiness.
"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." -John Piper
Oh that I could be so satisfied.
