Redefinition

Like the pilgrim in regress, that cannot quite find the way home... cloudy images of a road once traveled seem to mock you. You neither want where you ended up, nor remember what you were running from. This moment takes a bite at your soul. Where do you go from here?

I stumbled on an observation about myself tonight. A life skill that I have, and often take for granted. Something so powerful, that many stumble where I will succeed. I have the ability to laugh at myself.

With little pride to hold on to... softened by failure and dysfunction... accustomed to grace... I have no problem laughing at myself and admitting, "Wow God, I really screwed the pouch on that one!"

One by one, my plans fail. My path is almost constantly being redirected, contrary to my plans... and it's perfect. I've never felt more free. I've never felt more human.

My conclusion => Loosely hold on to your plans, grip your values as tightly as you can.

Although I've proven that I can't successfully plan my life the way I want, I can take steps to become the person I am supposed to be. So why am I spending so much time planning, and so little time investing in myself? Dissecting the most intimate things of the heart... stripping away the veneer... finding what it at the core... then, working to bring what is at the core, to the surface.

So what do you value? Do you know what you're looking for?
Whatever it is, I truly hope you find it... but I have to warn you. There is a chance you can gain what you truly desire... you can gain your world as you see it right now, and in the end, still lose your soul.

Find out what your soul truly desires.
Intimacy, Destiny, Meaning...
Your soul craves God.
