As I Write Another Draft And I Toss It In The Trash... (Sometimes Called "Speaking Of")

It seems just last week I cleaned out all my drafts... now I have about 6 or 7 more. Wait, it was just last week I cleaned them out. Crap. All these things fly around in my head and find no peace. So I try to write them down, soon realizing I need to study up on a couple things to finish it. Then I get studying all this random stuff and, well, I just lose track of its container. You know, that place where all the information is stored? When those get lost I can't focus on anything. Good thing God has been gracious enough to teach me patience. At least a few things can get written down.
Today I was reminded. I am not sure of what, but I was reminded. It made me feel closer to God. Like in one of those pictures where couples hold each other in their arms and smile at the camera. That is my favorite feeling to have with God. He knows me so well that all those questions that try to steal my faith and hope become obsolete. His love is so powerful.
Speaking of faith and hope, I heard a really good sermon on them the other day. The pastor expressed faith was what we have in things past and hope is what we have in things future. For a quick, easy example, Christ's accomplishment is what we have faith in and heaven is what we hope in. It isn't the kind of hope like, "I hope this works out..." It is the kind that says, "I am sure of my place in heaven." I am no scholar or Biblical teacher by any means, but it appears to me this is accurate. Even in the little things you see in the Bible, in history, in life can equate to this formula of faith and hope. Learning new things makes me happy.
Speaking of happy, I feel extra accomplished right now. But after trying to pin why I feel this way on so many things, I have decided to just let God take the blame for it. He has (and continues to) grown me in so many ways I could never begin to describe the joy that is present in Him. Is this the reason for sparkles?
There are so many things that wish to be said, yet no way to say them. Guess I will need to act. Funny thing about faith and hope. They all require action. They must be facilitated by the willing, faith-giving, hoping, wanting, shattered, humbled, acting heart. These are the stepping stones to a joyous life in Christ.
Speaking of joy, I am really craving a good worship with music and some friends...
I know what I was reminded of now. Listening. I see myself listening. To God... and to others. I pray they will talk.
