I Hate Allergies

One thing that really drives me crazy, sanity and all, is allergies! My head feels like it is imploding and the pressure release valve is all plugged up. Claritin works most of the time but this is sooooooooooooooooo frustrating.

Sometimes I think that if I could just set up a shop vac to my sinus cavity that I could clear the whole thing out. What a thought. I leave you with that.

Man, I need a Tent

I never caught this, in all of the times I have read through Exodus I never saw this. In fact, it had to be pointed out to me. Moses had this tent, a tent that was made available to all of the people, but it seems he was the only one to use it. A tent that was far away from rest of the group. A tent reserved for one on one contact with God. Exodus 33 introduces us to this "tent of meeting," that Moses would go out to, to encounter God. When he went everyone knew where he was going. It really seemed like he went when things were the craziest too, right after the golden calf incident. I'm sure he had a lot of issues going on but that tent was a priority.

Where is my tent? Where is my place, my time to escape? It is no one's fault but my own, I need a tent. Maybe not one with stakes and poles but a tent nevertheless. I would hope that if one really has a tent, a time with just you and God, that life gains a little more perspective.

Yet, even with his tent, Moses still failed to set foot in the Promise Land. He was still human. Imagine what his life may have been like without his tent. He had a lot of responsibility. Man, I need a tent.

One of the things that has struck me lately, is this idea of God being everywhere. Not only his ability to be everywhere, but his ability to celebrate my victories with me and weep and mourn with those dealing with heartache and heart break. As much as he is with me, he is also with you. This is such a concept to ponder but this also reminds me of how powerful God is.

I don't have a lot of time to ponder this idea. God obviously lives outside of our time and space, common, he created it right. In the midst of this deep ponderful idea I am over whelmed and comforted by a God who is fully in control.
