Can't sleep

I have 2 mid-term exams tomorrow but I can't sleep. I feel overwhelmed. Tonight started out with theological frustration again as I spent some time in prayer. But I came to realize the one simple thing that I had forgotten about-The beauty of Christ. I think it is so easy to forget as I "study" about God that I am seeing God from a human point of view and from that point of view it is easy to get frustrated because he doesn't really fit into any box we put him in. The truth is that God's beauty is in his mystery. The journey of faith is all about following this mysterious God who has an attractive nature to him that loses its attractiveness if we do something other than just stand in awe of God. I want to learn more and more how to simply stand in awe of God because that is where we find our reason to obey, our reason to trust. I want to meditate more and more on the beauty found is God's unfathomablity(is that a word?). To be honest, I think I need to slow down on studying and pondering of big theological issues and just learn to be still and know that HE is GOD!(Psalm 46:10)

here is the essay I wrote a few months back on the beauty of Christ that kinda shows this passion of mine for Christ's beauty
Part 1
Part 2
