Discussions of Insight

Today (1/20/10), I spent most of the day at coffee shops, talking and fellowshipping. I had intended to do some devotionals before meeting Robyn from my ISP England team, but then ended up talking to friends Alex and Carissa for over an hour about various insights I have been learning in my life.

I didn’t even start talking with Robyn until about 2:30 and we talked for about two more hours and then prayed together. After that I hung out with Chrissi and Karina for another hour and then Chrissi for a few more hours. So, it has been a fellowshipping kind of day and I got to share so many lessons with them all.

Fear of the Unknown

I fear what is unknown, for what is known to me already is of a dull comfort to me. I know what to expect each day, whether I dread it or love it, but yet there is an empty quality in that. For what draws closer to me than my own sin, that dreaded comfort that I am so often familiar with? Yet it is the unknown which inspires  fear, passion, hope, and trust. Trusting in the unknown is so great a risk, yet can be so well worth taking. But how do I trust what I fear? How do I walk in the unknown set before me? It is a terrible thing, great and uncertain. It is vague and seemingly untouchable while we still do not know it.
