Dust Bunnies

We were created from the dust of the ground to bring glory to God. The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being. We are dust, but when God formed us, he filled us with life. He gave us himself. We were filled with everything we needed to survive, to thrive. We were perfect and flawless. We were honest. We never had to pretend we belonged to God. We belonged to God. We submitted ourselves to him and followed him and obeyed him. We lived in Spirit and in Truth. For a moment.

And then we sinned and the breath of life faded from our lungs and we wandered around the earth multiplying like dust bunnies. Satan assured us we would not surely die, but die we did. The breath of life left us in that moment in one mighty exhale. And we were gone. We were gone to our Father. We were gone to Eden. We were gone to all we were created for. We were gone to life. We were dead indeed. And then we were just dust bunnies wafted around by the winds of time, blown here or there and gathering in all the unseemly places.

We multiplied. First there was one dust bunny. Then two. Then three. Then five. Then eight. Then on and on until the numbers astound us. What is three trillion? Who knows? But there are three trillion dust bunnies multiplying on this earth apart from Life.

But the Holy Spirit breathes into man and he becomes a living being. He is born again. How can this be? How can a man enter his mother's womb to be born again? With man this is impossible, but the wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with those born of the Spirit.

Things to pray for:

Opportunity and boldness to share the gospel.

Continued healing.

Direction and clarity. Is God a god of confusion? Then why am I confused?

Boys are stupid and being single is exhausting.
