I am writing an essay. It's quiet. I've given up listening to music for a while. I hear this generation is the most distracted generation. We are afraid to face silence. We crowd our days with music and television and facebook and movies. Then we wonder why God doesn't speak to us. Perhaps it's because the world is too loud to hear the small whisper. So I gave it up. Music. Facebook. Television. Texting. Movies. I hope to hear more of God's voice on this endeavor. I have some decisions to make, and I really need to know what He wants for me. Oh how desperately I want to know.
I realize though, that it's not possible to get away from music. Music plays in the background everywhere! In the coffee shop, at the dining hall, in the dorm rooms. We really have drowned out our lives with music. It's crazy how that happens.
I am so sleepy. I do not think I can finish this essay right now.
Be silent for a day...or two...or more. See what happens.
