A Joyful Return.

Well, as you can see, it has been quite a while since I posted...It was partially not having anytime to be able to think of anything apart from exams, packing up my room, coming home, etc. etc. etc. and also my belief that anything I posted on here, during said stressful time would be a horrible let down considering the ummm...creativity...of the last posting. :)
Anyway, I am home from school, and very glad to be home at that. The past nine months have been a whirlwind, but one that the Lord has definitely been present in. His hand was evident at every turn and twist, and my first year at college, was definitely a learning experience, utmostly of trust. The Lord is merciful and His gracious love is ever-present and powerful in our lives...Of this, I am eternally grateful.


"Lightly men talk of saying what they mean. Often when he was teaching me to write in Greek the Fox would say, "Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less than what you really mean; that's the whole art and joy of words." A glib saying. When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the center of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you'll not talk about joy of words. I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?

I ended my first book with the words NO ANSWER. I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice? Only words, words; to be lead out to battle against other words."

-C.S. Lewis
