The wind is breezing very peacefully to my skin through the back door of my dorm. It's been very nice to have the white clouds spreading on the sky and the green leaves shaking as the wind passes through them. The nature is so simple, peaceful and honest. They simply receive what's given and give what they receive. Many times, I really need to learn from the movement and breath of the nature. Besides that, December is approaching soon so the mild wind and heavy rain could come interchangeably makes the heart becomes a little softer and sober toward the Christmas.
I am thinking of simplifying the things which have been quite scattered and reorganizing the messy things; kind of sorting out the materials which can be used immediately and the ones which can't (i.e. unnecessary ones) so that I can focus my mind on the things that's really important and needful (both physically and mentally). One thing that I notice is that I can't simply force myself into it too quickly. I need to do it very deliberately and according to the capacity otherwise it'll be quite unsuccessful. Keeping heart and mind in simplicity and as it is I hope will help to unload unnecessary cares and thoughts to focus on the Lord and his faithfulness.

Yes, Son, it is as you wrote, "They simply receive what's given and give what they receive," and so it is with us, because the Lord made everything follow the same pattern, the pattern of His own life. We are to be everliving streams, just as He is. We are to be like hollow reeds through which He can play His melody.
