Questions

Laying in bed, tired as can be, my mind would not shut down. I blame the Mountain Dew I drank to stay awake for my Hebrew exegetical. The racing thoughts turned only into questions. What am I doing? What do I want to be doing? What do I want to want? On my best days what do I want my desire to be? The questions were penetrating my heart, and for a moment I saw what I want to want, Christ. On my best of days I don't know if I can say that I desire him above everything else, but in the moment when I am at my my best I can say that I want to want Christ. Last night was one of those moments when everything was stripped away (thanks to the beating from my exegetical) and I could see myself and say I want to desire God and his glory and his kingdom above all else.

How?
