Tuesday censors a conversation and then talks about not censoring conversations. How retrospectively ironic.

I've been thinking a lot about this video, Tuesday.
I think if there was a formula for finding awe, whatever it was you found wouldn't be wonderful anymore. But I also think that this sense of not being able to find anything glorious about God, He sometimes counters by showing me things about himself through the beauty that is in people and in nature.
I feel like we should learn to believe in God's goodness even when we don't see it, but He still delights in reminding us. ("Taste and see that the Lord is good.") Related post from the rabbit room if you have time to read it: http://www.rabbitroom.com/?p=10076
I think you're doing right by reconsidering your image of God. I've had this desire to look into God's eyes to talk to Him, but instead there are people being the body of Christ around me.
I want to learn to listen.
(Also, I am praying for you. I hadn't much thought to before.)
I'm glad I went back down the list and checked for comments, Wednesday - thank you.
You raise a good point. I was fairly certain that there was a better way to phrase the question, or indeed a better question to ask altogether, but I usually think this about my questions. I'm glad I got it out there so that it could be corrected.
Too much of my time is spent second-guessing and not doing. Especially now that I'm in college, there is immense emphasis put on evaluating what we do. Without meaning to, I've shifted much off of doing. I don't spend hardly any time talking to God or trusting in God. Most of it is spent thinking about doing it.
So, it is good to reconsider my image of God and think critically about it. However, my problem is that my lack of answers are keeping me from praying and reading God's Word, and this should not be.
(This means an awful lot, and I believe it will help. Thank you.)
A Year Of Questions is a project begun on March 22, 2010, by seven teens who want to be better at asking questions and articulating answers. This blog exists to make it easier to discuss these questions (because a 500 character limit on YouTube comments is rather limiting). Enjoy!
