my heart is filled with sorrow only to be cured by the One whose blood overs over me. it is heavy with sadness for the rebellion of our generation and beyond. oh, how we continually, actively, and knowingly sin against the One who deserves all glory and praise. anger rises in me as i acknowledge the depth of my depravity and the effects of a fallen world.
how long, o Lord? when will You pour out Your wrath and show justice upon your people? will You do nothing as your creation sin against You? will You not discipline Your children? Lord, let your justice and mercy come down like like thunder and strike conviction in our hearts. may it burn with passion and faithfulness!

Finite
having bounds or limits; not infinite; measurable.
eleven weeks, eleven states, one deer, three graduations, two car accidents, one major car wreck/near death experience, one new cell phone, one broken laptop, one semi-stressful wedding, countless parties, and even more flights... is just a glimpse of my summer. now if you multiple that by stress and anxiety, you will get a very overwhelmed amy. not to mention thousands of dollars spent... *shrug*
and yet, here i am sitting in front a laptop (that i'm borrowing!) unscathed and relative sane... is quite a miracle!
and while i did walk away from the accident virtually unharmed and was able to even survive this fallen world thus far, i am far from being invincible. i sat down at church not too long ago, maybe a couple months after my accident, and realized... that it is only by God's grace that i am alive. but at any moment, God can take me home.
i guess all this to say... God is gracious and i am powerless... and... i'm okay with it. and... more than ever... i want to live righteously and a life worthy of His death.
Infinite: unbound, unlimited, not finite, immeasurable, God.
