I like this . . . sense of a peaceful life. In one sense you're striving, but in another sense you are standing still. How can we "be" and still strive to "become"? I feel like I am forever striving, or "searching" for God. And I wonder (I know this is getting off-topic) . . . I wonder how I can seek for God, and yet . . . I already know Him! Why am I not fulfilled in Him yet?
"My mind, my heart, my everything, and praise God with it." Yes! And . . . in some sense, you cannot stop doing that! You're being praises God, in your creation and in living you praise God! But . . . I suppose to praise God actively is a joy set before us.
Our glory is to give glory. To be "in relation" to God! (all things point to Him, and gain meaning from being in Him, and for Him) :D
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!

:D Your exclamation points are making me so happy.
And, about this seeking and resting thing: yes, I know exactly what you mean. hmm.
