Why restless? Why blog? Why would I ever want to do such a thing? Good question. I don't have the answer.

In all honesty, I don't know what to do when it comes to blogging, so this will most likely be a reflection of my thoughts, meditations, opinions, and insight of what has happened on a particular day, or what is going on in my life at that moment.

Why restless?

St. Augustine said in his Confessions, "You have made us for yourself, O LORD, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."

How right he was. Our hearts were made for ultimate satisfaction with Christ! We cannot expect to be satisfied by finite people in the world today. If we search for someone that will ultimately fulfill us on Earth, we will rip either them or ourselves apart. We can't expect infinite from something finite.

So this is my inspiration - to write about our restlessness. We experience it everyday, so this should contain anything from anyday. Pretty broad, right? This is not meant to leave us hopeless, but to instill hope in us that one day we will be fulfilled and satisfied by the best Bridegroom! While here on Earth, there are things that will bring us close to being satisfied ultimately, but in the end, we need Christ more than we need anything else. Our hearts are restless until they can rest in Him.

  +to Christ through Mary,
tyler
