I have had a wonderful week: two days visiting my God son followed by a four day study residential with WTC. Studying God academically can be, for some, the path to creating a very dry faith based on intellectual debate and reason. However, I have found it to be nothing further than the truth. Studying Theology has simply brought me closer to Him. The increasing intellectual comprehension has merely served to widen my awe and appreciation of Him. Getting to know Him more can also help you discover more about yourself. It is exciting to say the least. In the past year I have met Him in ways that I had never met Him before, and I am enjoying continuing to listen out for His voice, in whatever form that may come. It also gives me great joy to serve Him in what little ways I can too. Yesterday's final morning worship session was one of those such moments. I offer the poem below to those who have requested it, which tied in with a picture that was shared from another student of the faculty and the teaching that we received on learning to live with 'waiting' and the process of being transformed through tough times:
In The Eye of The Storm
I stand in your praise
In the eye of the storm.
I’m feeling the strain,
My body is worn.
My mind is cluttered.
In my prayers I have
muttered
Words of seeking
Of searching the dawn,
The answers, the guidance,
The knowledge, the sign,
To guide me to
The path that is mine.
I seek your face,
I seek your will.
And until then,
In the eye of the storm,
I
stand still.
