Sick

I've been rather ill for the past one month or so. I believe it might be psychological in nature. Just really tired of a lot of things, and I managed to jus hide it better before. It's so hard being a nice guy, especially when life gives you shit. I'm so tempted sometimes to just be like I was in Maris Stella, to be the gangster ruled by emotion and force. Sigh, people tell me to take pride in who I am. Who I am? I am not sure I even know. Is it the person you see everyday? The person I believe myself to be? Or the person I am when I'm tired enough to drop my defenses? When I drop my defenses I'm at my best and my worst at the same time. I've seen myself when I am exhausted. I become very good at physical skill. When I'm tired I lose reason and restraints on myself, best example would be when I played ball with my best friend once. Managed to shoot 7 3-pointers in a game of race to 50. Yet I also lose my temper easily. I ven get a kick out of losing my temper. When I am normal, I close what I used to be. Well, all I can say now, is, as sick as I am, I don't know if i should bother using my energy in control, or in just living life. I'm tired of being a good helpful Christian all the time. Tired of being someone who is always there yet no one notices except when needed. Tired of having what I say fly past peoples heads until they feel they need it. Tired of army, of studying, of computer games, ball games, books, of being a floor mat, a fat guy, a name on a screen, a chauffeur, of just being a fly on the wall. Where has the boy I used to be gone? The one who played soccer regularly, studied little cos everything was just so simple, the one who at 8 years old, thought about death while in the toilet, deciding to leave a mark on earth, not be an anonymous tomb, the one who was thin, cute, musical, brilliant, ambitious and energetic? He grew up? I think he disappeared somewhere... And I'm someone very differrent who shines very much less.

My dear...

pray for an outpouring of the Spirit!

Really!

There're so little things we can do, but the Spirit's the engine of your car and you can't do without it... keep thirsting and praying for the Spirit - whatever you honestly desire and pray for, God will give you :)
