Jackson, MS Trip (March 21, 2009)/Journal Entry

We are in Mendenhall, MS today. So much has ocurred on this land. So many momments--some good, some bad, some legendary, many life-changing, and yet some forgotten. I feel a multi-faceted ancestry to this place that is disjoining. How this feels is good despite it not feeling good. This is what I yearn for...to travel and learn, to be malible and think critically, to explore and discover. To find myself disjointed and broken so that there is less of me and more of Christ.

There is so much to be discovered in this process. I have learned more about me and my relationship with God and others. I am finding parts of me are being tamed and emptied while others are being inflamed and filled-up.

Lord,

Set me free for more moments like this.

This is not easy, but this is good.

You will take me places that are broken to further break me, and in those moments your grace and joy shall abound.

You and the sacrifice of your Son will never change.

You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Everday You are the same, but I...

I am changing.

Praise be to God!
