lately, my life seems to happen around me. i get to run like a cat chasing it's tail trying to keep up. :) even relaxing time with friends must be scheduled in to my date book and is often spent trying not to think about all the other things going on in the world. when i can take a few moments to be inspired (by movies, thoughtful blogs, books, etcetera) i am just in awe. i feel i have just enough time to take these things in, but not to process it in such a way that i can begin intelectual and conscious dialoge about them. so, i thank you to all those who are doing that and allowing me the opportunity to live vicariously through the things you share. :)
there is no place for complaining in my life. i am more inspired and motivated than i have been in a long time. the gratitude i feel for all the incredible people and opportunities crossing my path is indescribable. i was finally able to watch the documentary, A Closer Walk, today and it fueled the momentum i have, reinforcing my passion to follow this path where-ever it may lead.
a HUGE "thank you!" to zach and holly for taking the time to share with us and listen. meeting new people, making connections on the most basic level - i believe that is one of the most powerful and profound things a person can experience. a great big hug to all the roadies, volunteers, and staff members at invisible children for being available to do all the great and small things that you do!! to all those who speak and move in such a way that the Love of Christ is screaming and beaming in your lives - you have my deepest, awe-inspired appreciation. it shows in the love letters tausha writes to God, in katie's stories of life experience, zach's commentaries on modern Christian culture, and just as clear in drew's tears as he tries to work through pain and confusion amongst hurt friends. i hear it loudly in the honesty of people struggling to do what is right in their lives or even know what is good. compassion, forgiveness, patience, determination, boldness, and self-sacrifice...
in all the horrors of this world, without the grace of God and the support we all bring eachother i don't know that i could see any hope at all. on top of that - you make it fun!! i am watching people laugh their way through recovery from addiction and abuse. we are singing and dancing in our fight for justice. not just a bunch of crazy kids, but inteligent, purposeful action. rock on!
