Withdraw Your Hand (Part 2)

“Thou art the God of the early mornings, the God of the late at nights, the God of the mountain peaks, and the God of the seas; my God, my soul has further horizons than the early mornings, deeper darkness than the nights of the earth, higher peaks than any mountain peaks, greater depths than any sea in nature – Thou who art the God of all these, be my God. I cannot reach the heights or the depths; there are motives I cannot trace, dreams I cannot get at – my God, search me out.” ~ Chambers rendition of Psalms 139

Last week was an academic rarity….no papers, no tests. As the fallout of my spare time and Urim and Thummim ponderings, I figured it might be helpful to physically label some my abstractions. A trip to a creek and a bath tube lined with dirty rocks later, I have a fuller vision of what I have been gripping so tightly.

Each rock now bears a name, word, or phrase; and each morning I get to decide whether to carry the concern or withdraw my hand and offer it to the Creator of all things. I must say, I’m feeling a lot lighter these days. :)
