keep asking questions

i'm trying to think of something interesting to say to all of you out there. something more than I don't like trying to buy plane tickets, or how I don't feel like time is on my side, or whatever.
lately people have been asking me how i'm doing and my response has been one of slience. Well, I mean I answer and come up with something - but it's not really in depth or I guess I should say the answer doesn't really cut it.
I think it's hard to explain how i'm "doing" right now because I don't really know. I feel like i'm still getting adjusted to being back in Springfield - but yet I'm in this place where I sorta have my routine down-ish. I'm still asking questions like why am I really here, what's my purpose, what does the Lord want/have for me, what is He saying, etc.

I haven't really gotten farther than asking the questions. No answers. I'm okay with that. I think it's good to continually ask those questions. Sometimes we have answers, other times we don't. Right now I'm not concentrating on the answers just more on being diligent to ask the questions.

There's one realization I've had in my getting adjusted. Not really an answer, just a realization. My realization is this: While I was at the house of prayer, I was continually feeling the Lord's presence all around me. You know, like it was in the air so to speak. And here in Springfield, in the midst of work and life and friends and everything else, I feel the Lord's presence the most inside of me. Sorta like - Christ in me, the hope of glory. I like it. It's different, but I like it.

And there you go. There's my reflection for the week.
