Perfect Chaos

Steven Colborne's Philosophical Theology Blog

A Year Older

Hello friends,

Birthdays offer an opportunity for reflection. When I look back at the last year, I have mixed emotions. In a sense, it’s a miracle that I’m still here. In another sense, I feel very sad.

Yesterday, I was having a cup of tea and felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the blessings of my life circumstances. But there are other times when I reflect and feel like my life is a mess and full of failure.

I’m choosing to see this birthday as the start of a new chapter. The infinite possibilities of the future are ahead. I know I have to move forward prayerfully and have to trust that God will work everything out.

I’m a big fan of brainstorming, so I’m going to do a big life brainstorm this afternoon and see what plans I can make. I will probably read Ecclesiastes today as well, I’m in a melancholy mood so it will be quite fitting.

Thank you for following my blog.

God bless

Steven

Steven invites you to prayerfully reflect upon your relationship with God in light of the challenging perspective he presents in God’s Grand Game and in his other books.

      Thanks Rebekah! In addition to my reflecting and brainstorming I had some quality time with the Lord. He is most merciful! God bless you.
