I have a confession... I really wanted to put a pun in this somewhere. Also, one of my favorite lines so far comes from the first page. Saint Augustine says "You stir man to take pleasure in praising you, because you have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." What a truth to be read during the week of the CPA's Christmas Spectacular. As part of the tech team and rhythm section, as well as battling illness, everything outside of classes has been extremely stressful. While stress is a pain and fact of life, it can easily become consuming. St. Augustine's words are so soothing to hear because though life may be crazy right now, that is all the more reason to praise Christ. He has allowed me to be a part of a production that is beyond my understanding, and nothing I have ever been apart of matches up to the scale of such a production. The goal of the production is to bring glory to the King who deserves it. Without Him, I would not be here. The stress may seem overbearing at times, that is until I do exactly as Augustine suggests. The moment I praise and rest in Him, my heart finds rest among the chaos.
P.S. I commented on Briana's and Sierra's posts.
