Life is Certainly Extrordinary

Today I get my big break.

A chance to go.
A chance to do.

I strategically fold my life in a red suitcase,
packing opportunity, hunger for adventure, and a blank notebook.

With all the lists checked and the ticket in my hand,
I board a whirlwind in the sky.

Who would have thought I would be flying to the other side of the globe?
God did.

How awesome is the Creator I serve?
He loves the big picture.
And the thought that He choose me to be a stroke in the picture He is painting is beyond words.

My hope is that for Him I will be unhindered, unashamed, and set apart.
That our group will be Holy, like He is Holy.

I really cannot imagine what is my personal experience will be,
what I will learn, or how I will grow, but I do know it will be
Life-altering.

My goal is to constantly be aware that I am living out what we have all been planning for and waiting for.
This is not the time to be tired or have a negative attitude.
This is the time to truly live.
To breathe in culture and surroundings and love.

For the next two weeks I want to be a giver and to be a doer.
I want to be salt and light for the God I love.

Rendezvous with Resurrection

Open your soul.
Kiss the earth.
Wave hello to opportunity.
Race to the end of the earth,
and jump off the edge of the rim.
Where passion and desire will meet your heartache and pain to create fullness.
Feel desperate,
Longingly desperate.
Go back to the inmost.
Uncover the fear,
Relinquish the genuine.
With the blood pulsing in your organic veins.
Stay pure.

Right Now

one day i will want to come back to this second.
so often we reminisce.
well, this is the the part i want to be mine always.
all the potential energy converting to kinetic at my fingertips.
life with the seams sown, the curtains wide open with rays streaming in.
right now i have it figured out.
i am now.
in the moment.
someday i will look back.
but for the present of the daylight i will be.
simple.
passionate.
outrageous.
blunt.
witty.
changing.
adoring.
remember me as today.

there ya go

we were in love.
it was perfect.
the year was 1970.
you were you.
i was me.
forever.
