Renunciation of self
“We live in, what some referred to as, a super flat culture. A super flat culture is one that’s lost its sense of the transcendent. It’s lost it’s sense of the transcendent, it doesn’t really wrestle with the deeper questions of life; it lives in the realm of the eminent, the near. It lives in the realm of the tangible - what you can see and what you can feel. A super flat culture is one that’s very shallow. I’m reading a book right now by Mark Seyers called the Road Trip that changed the world. Listen to what he says about a super flat culture: “In a super flat culture where nothing matter, we escaped into obsessions and hobbies. Interests that bear little ultimate consequence. In a com-modified culture we move and shift around meaning, giving weight to things that do not deserve mountains of time and attention. The 21st century will be a century marked by conspicuous consumption but also flagrant misused of time. With religion off the agenda, our culture finds new avenues of devotion and destruction. Instead of moving us toward relationship and people, the eminent- super flat culture pushes us towards things. Millions of hours in the 21st century will be spent working through dvd/tv series, scanning social networks sites, gorging on celebrity gossip, downloading music, flipping through home magazines, and playing computer games. Things will take precedent over people; meaningless activities will overtake our lives. There’s nothing wrong with interests and hobbies in the right place, but the 21st century culture will gorge on such activities. The real issues of human existence, that have sat right front in center of human consciousness have in the super flat eminent world been shoved to side. They are too heavy to be carried on the road. Instead we buzzed across the surface of life, never venturing below the surface.” This is the world you live in, the world I live in. A super flat culture that’s obsess with the eminent, the near, the tangible, the felt, the experience. And Jesus presses us into something that’s deeper, He presses us into the deeper questions of life. And the deepest question He could asks you is, What do you think about Him? Who do you say that He is? What’s your take on Him? Do you have any convictions about Him at all? And your answer to that question is at the utmost importance and notice Peter’s response, YOU ARE THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.”

WAIT

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried.
Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate,
And the master so gently said, “Child, you must wait!”
“Wait?” you say, “Wait!” my indignant reply.
“Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!”
Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By FAITH I have asked, and am claiming your word.
“My future and all to which I can relate
Hangs in the balance, and you tell me to WAIT?
I’m needing a “yes”, a go ahead sign
Or even a “no”, to which I can resign.
“And Lord, you promised that if we believe
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
And Lord, I’ve been asking, and this is my cry:
I’m weary of asking! I need a reply!”
Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate
As my Master replied once again, “You must wait.”
So, I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut
And grumbled to God, “So, I’m waiting…for what?”
He seemed then to kneel and his eyes wept with mine,
And he tenderly said, “I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heaves, and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead, and cause mountains to run.
All you seek, I could give, and pleased you would be.
You would have what you want…but you wouldn’t know ME.
You’d not know the depth of my love for each saint;
You’d not know the power that I give to the faint;
You’d not learn to see through clouds of despair;
You’d not learn to trust just by knowing I’m there;
You’d not know the joy of resting in me
When darkness and silence were all you could see.
You’d never experience that fullness of love
As the peace of my spirit descends like a dove;
You’d know that I give and save…for a start,
But you’d not know the depth of the beat of my heart.
The glow of my comfort late into the night.
The faith that I give when you walk without sight,
The depth that’s beyond getting just what you asked
Of an infinite God, who makes what you have LAST.
You’d never know, should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that “My grace is sufficient for thee”
Yes, your dreams for your loved ones overnight would
come true, but oh, the LOSS!
If I lost what I’m doing in you!
“So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see
THAT THE GREATEST OF GIFTS
IS TO GET TO KNOW ME.
And though oft may my answers seem terribly late,
My wisest of answers is still but to WAIT.”

“I’m trying to think back on what I had accomplished in the last three years spent here. Oh how time flies.

No doubt it has been growth above anything else.”

I am blessed to have had the opportunity to attend UCSD. 

FIRST DAY of my LAST YEAR. Leggo
