Well, something has been happening to me over the past few days. My past few posts seem to be a tangible progression of sorts. I have to get it out right now or it might not get out, so this is going to be sincere with a capital S. I love Adam Sandler by the way. I always have. It’s not very intellectual of me, I know, but I loved dumb Sandler and I love nice Sandler and I love serious Sandler. Anyway, about what is happening to me. I am being redeemed. By God. I know, that’s old news, but it’s new news too. The world is brighter somehow, my capacity for joy is greater. My life is less certain, yet I am more sure of the things I know. I know that I cannot feel this way forever, but that is fine, because I know that this development is more than a feeling. My essence is changing. My molecular structure is being rearranged somehow. I am not quite "there" if you know what I mean. Occasionally in my life I have caught glimpses of the person that I am becoming, or should become. Lately those glimpses have been more frequent. I wrote in my Law School application that "the highs are less frenetic and the lows are less desperate." That sort of begins to explain how I’m changing. I should interject a disclaimer here. I am not suggesting that I have anything more than a minor role in this transformation. When I say it is happening to me, that is more or less what I mean. It’s like growing up, physically I mean. I never decided to get taller, it just happened. I never decided to turn 27, but I’m going to in a couple of months. This process feels a lot like that in some ways. The only difference is that I can interfere with this process in a way that I couldn’t with the others. Look, it’s like Paul says, now we see in a glass dimly, but then we shall see face to face. That scripture seems to be stalking me lately. I know who God wants me to be. Right now, in this moment, I can see that person. Tomorrow or next week or in five minutes, even that glimpse might be gone. But right now I see her. Pray for me. That I may become who I should be. I will pray for you. I am losing my momentum so perhaps it is time that I wrap this up.
