I’ve been thinking lately how I’ve been using coffee as something to calms me down, relax myself, and to just put myself into a sort of dreamy state. I’m not exactly a coffee adict, i.e. have five or more cups a day, usually I have at most one cup a day, and sometimes a second depending on what I’m doing that day. I found it helpful to drink a cup of coffee while writing my exams because it took away all of the anxiety. Also, it helps with my writing or any kind of creative thinking.
For the past while I’ve been experiencing God doing something in my life. I wasn’t exactly sure what the purpose was, and even now I’m not completely sure, but it seems like the only conclusion that I can come to is that God is in control. He is in control of what is going on. And with that, I shall be comforted.
I’ve been writing a lot lately about how love and relationships should be selfless, and yet lately, I’ve been realizing how against my nature it is to live selflessly. It can be rough at times. This morning I was thinking about how impossible it is to consider a loved one’s needs, concerns, or problems before your own if you are not close to God. The further away I am from God, the more anxious I become.
Somehow, coffee can’t replace God.
