i’ve been telling russell that i need a vocation.

he’s been telling me that it doesn’t matter what my vocation is.  my calling is to pursue God.

i’ve been telling him that i need a vacation.

he’s been telling me that i need a breakthrough.

i’m slow to admit it… but i think he’s right.  as augustine once said, “our hearts are restless until they rest in thee.” 

restlessness is the epitome of what i’m feeling.  the next trip, the next job, the next friendship, the next meal, the next nothing will cure my restless heart.  resting in jesus.  that’s the cure.
