In My Head

Do you ever have days where you spend a lot of time in your head? Today is like that except maybe it's more that I'm in my heart or soul or spirit.

I recently finished a first read of The Bible. It's taken me over 20 years of inconsistent daily reading of about a single little chapter per day. I was excited today to start reading from the beginning and to really try to absorb and understand.  My Bible notes indicated that Moses probably wrote Genesis and for the first time it really sunk in that I'm reading a translation of the word of God written by a man over 2000 years ago. A man who had the courage and faith to lead a people out of slavery in Egypt looked up at the same moon and felt warmth from the same sun as me.

It makes me feel so small and insignificant. It makes me wonder what more I can do. Is there a people I can lead? What is my purpose and is what I'm doing already contributing to that purpose in a meaningful way?

I have more questions than answers and observations today.
