So first of all I am back at school! It's always hard to come back but good friends help that. Boy I was so bummed though that when I actually have an opportunity to sleep in my body's time clock decided to get up super early and be super sore. Oh well. I have been meaning to write a post about emptiness and just haven't gotten around to it so now I suppose I will.....

After packing for school and with all the other moving we are doing, my room is officially empty. We gave away my bed to a good friend to help furnish his college apartment. It is strange to think I slept on a sofa because I didn't have a bed but then it went to a good place and use. Also thinking about how so many people don't even have a bed is astounding, such seemingly insignificant/average things I so take for granted. Well that is a whole other issue in itself and not the gist of my thoughts, though a part. I began to think about emptiness. My room was empty. Nothing in it, white walls, a blank canvas. Then I thought about what if I came to God like that. I let everything go and just came to Him. That is what He does after all, washing us whiter than snow (Psalm 51:7). How much more could God use me if that were the case?
