Do it. 4/17/19

Oh, Father, I think of my circle of friends. I think of the things on our Do It list. I think of the smiles that our list brings to our hearts, and I think of the dread that encircles our head like a ravaging beast.

Hug a child, love a husband, make a video, shoot a podcast, complete physical therapy, help the elderly, take a step, sit down and wait.

Lord, I have two lists. One declares the joys of my everyday. The other is blank. Well, there are a few doodles and things. But, void of any symbolism of accomplishment. Just doodles.

I pray for the woman who has the same two lists. The one that fills our day (and sometimes stresses us out) and the one void of Next Steps.

Help, I pray, our eyes to see the joys in our mundane while we watch your Hand move mountains!!!

I pray for the heart that is under this blanket of acceptance. Questions of the unknown still stifling her air, thoughts still jumping from her dream to reality. I pray you will give your desire to her heart. I pray she will see the reality before her as a Dream, a dream in which she can Shine your Love to the world around her!

Lord, I don’t need to ask if you are with us, for you are ever faithful, ever present, ever YOU!

Can You Invert?

This pastor dared to challenge an “Inversion upon our week.” Then he prayed inversion over our Monday, and our Tuesday and all the way to our Friday. I was standing there in the crowd feeling a new mentality wash over my week’s goals.

Invert. Read more
