dear emily,
i have the 'empties' today. you know that feeling . . . well it's more a lack
of feeling that makes the simplest of chores seem daunting? don't want
breakfast, don't want to take a walk or unpack my suitcase, don't want to
read me bible or even a book (i left the 'me', because it turned up the corners
of my mouth.)
this is what children feel like when we make them eat their vegetables but
they only want oreos. when we grow up, we have to make ourselves do
things, too. we need light but crave darkness and stillness and oreos. the
smallest breeze could upset my apple cart. if there were only some clouds,
i might go outside.
"but whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen
plainly that what He has done has been done through God." john 3:21
i don't really get the last part, but the first part is my vegetable for today.
love,
lea
