Nor my eyes lofty.
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too profound for me.
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever. Psalm 131 NKJV

I am in a place at the moment where I'm being encouraged to take a
break from all different sources. The problem with this has been that my
heaviest burdens are in my mind - how do you take a break from
yourself? For me this week began by letting go of my deep sense of
spiritual responsibility for every person I have ever met. The end of
the week has seen me letting go of my deep sense of responsibility for
completely changing society. Big dreams? Yes. I've decided I will let
God take responsibility for great matters and things too profound for me, and I will calm and quiet my soul.
What this means for campus ministry I'm unsure of but I know that if God wants to move on campus He is the one to do it. Stay tuned for what God will do when there's less of us and more of Him!
