"the drum beats out of time..."

i'm having one of those weeks. a week where i'm just totally wearied by the world. i'm so tired of the nonsense that goes on every day...and i've been feeling quite isolated from everything. i dunno...i can't really explain it.

it's different this time around though. i've been through weeks like this before, but this time the weariness is mingled with joy and hope. as tired as i am, the joy of the Lord remains in me, and i can't help but be reminded by the hope of His glory. i know one Day all of the tiresome ways of the world will end. i look forward to that Day.

it seems that because of the state i've been in this week, i have had more "quality time" with the Lord. maybe because i realize the need? or just because i have more time to think, and to talk to Him? i don't know. whatever the reason, there is a bittersweetness to my days. i have an overflowing joy from the Lord. still, that doesn't mean i'm not weary.

so...that was incredibly redundant, i'm sure. but oh well. i needed to get those thoughts out. peace out homies. :)
