Like a child...

When was the moment in which we stopped thinking as a child, where we stopped seeing things like a child. Was there a day in which we decided to take off our goggles of imagination and view the world with the naked eye. Don't you wish you could re-live thinking you could fly, or touch the sky. Although we might not have known the meaning, Belief was what we lived by when we were children. It was is our blood and soul. Everything we did came from this fountain of imagination that bubbled up inside spilling out and overflowing. Our imagination gave us the freedom to dream and explore without the fear of anyone taking it away. Our imagination guided us to the door of opportunity. Fall back into your treasure chest full of the imagination you once knew, to remind yourself of the place in which you once grew.

It's in the seeking when you find who you are. A career can't define you, but only limit you're possibilities of all that's been planted inside of you. I've been sailing on this ship through a reckless storm, starving my self of rest, seeking for the answers of the future that awaits me... As if a career is the answer to all my questions. I am numb and feel stuck, trying to grip on to anything

just to feel a peace about my life. A thousand possibilities rush through my mind...and I am getting tired of trying, tired of controlling, and tired of having to know "what I'm going to do after school" I'm tired. So this is me giving up, giving it up to my friend who knows me all to well. He can have it all, every idea i've created my life to be. BUT, in return he will give me his peace and PERFECT will... and that's fine with me. now I can rest peacefully...

Love.

Love isn't to be taken lightly.

Love is a movement, a position of the heart towards another.

Love is trust.

Love is truth.

Love is to believe the best in someone and see the b

est through all things.

Love can break a heart of stone.

Love can build back a broken city.

Love brings together.

Love can refresh the dead and revive the lost.

Love isn't always easy.

Love isn't a Word.

Love without ceasing even if love isn't returned.

These words withhold the true meaning of Love:

- I Cor. 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does notenvy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

The Restoration

Through experience, I have come to realize that in order for Restoration to occur, Unforgiveness must be terminated, and forgiveness must thrive.

In order for something to be Restored into it's original condition, you must give it the freedom to do so.

"The freedom to do so" = ability to Surrender.

Imagine a Wild horse who was born to be free, but is now tied down, fenced in, and restrained. The horse would have no way of being released unless it's owner came to him, untied his knot, and broke down the gates. He would need to trust his owner - to be open to allow him to set him free.

I encourage you to Surrender- Let Him untie your knot, break down the fence, and let The Restoration occur. Until then, you will remain a Wild horse who is compromising the fact that you are being restrained from the freedom which

you were born to live in.

Your Idea's

Don't fall for an impression without further examination.

Your hope in this false facade will leave you in a fruitless achievement.

An idea is but a concept of a mental

Impression.

How dissatisfying it is to fall for the idea, when in place you could have the certainty of falling for the authenticity in something

True.

Don't be deceived by the counterfeit...

Honestly

To be honest takes much Vulnerability and trust.

I think one of the most Beautiful and Solid qualities is to be open with who and where you are in life, and to not be restricted in sharing that place.

This takes Courage[strength in the face of pain]

and Security [the state of being free].

When you lack the courage needed to be Secure,

you can find yourself closing inward, without a way of communicating.

You will find yourself confined. This will not only effect you, but the ones who remain closest to you. This place can only last so long before somethings got to give.

If you are able to find the Beauty in your Vulnerability,

you will begin to see the lives beside you Liberated as well as your own.

Leap Further...

Leap:
Jump or spring a long way, to a great height, or with great force.

Apply this word to your life, to your passions, to your hopes.
Know that you have your plans, and your dreams
but Trust that his vision is much bigger than your own.
Don't control your situation, but Let it Go and relax knowing he's had You in mind all along.
Opportunities may fail me, Connections may disconnect, but my God is always there.
