Got the day off for Juneteenth today. Took the family to see Elio, the new Pixar movie. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't my favorite. I absolutely loved hearing Carl Sagan's voice in it. That was beautiful.
I work tomorrow morning at 0400. It's my last cycle, and I'm excited about that. Hopefully I'll find out soon if I'm indeed going to Korea next.
I'm re-reading The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer. I first read it in 2014 or 2015, when I was in the Middle East. There's a prayer at the end of Chapter 1 that really struck me:
"O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.” Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus’ Name, Amen."
All last night, I kept waking up in prayer, asking God to be my Lord, to take my soul and make it His. As of right now, I am feeling compelled to continue in this seeking after Jesus. I really want it to last.
