Tonight at Nav Night, one of the women on staff, Laura, shared with us some of what God has been teaching her over the past few months while she's been, as she calls it, her "season of sadness." She has a few reasons to be in this season, but despite all of it, she's still been such a ray of sunshine in my life, especially as I've been in my own sort of rough patch, what with all the change that college brings. I really love that she was so willing to share so openly with us about her heart, and the things that have been weighing on her, that she's been wrestling with. I've found that I love her so much more through that.
One random thing in that: Laura gave us a moment to think about what struggles we're dealing with right now, and she said we may not be really struggling with something right now, and that we don't need to go looking for something to be struggling with. But I was drawing a blank, I knew I was struggling, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was. But I realized: I struggle with apathy, with numbness. It's something I find myself falling into all the time. Over the past few weeks, I've been slightly falling into it. I just don't care about anything. And that's kind of a huge problem for me. When I don't care about anything, I don't do anything. I think God really used Laura's talk to reveal that to me. So I'll be talking to the Lord, trying to get out of this, and I would really appreciate your prayers as I struggle through this.
