Pushing through the Crowd.

in my life, its easy to get distracted.
nothing new, right?
we all do.

WELL!

Heres the rub, and its a bad one.
not like a massage, or a gentle pat.

I know this now, that God has a creative and unique path for my life.
I have a specific set of problems and strengths, friends and family.
I am not living out a textbook or template.

A piece of paper told me that I'd improve my effectiveness by "Declaring".
Heres a declaration: I don't know about where i'm going, but i'm dreaming and leaving the rest to God. Call it impractical, but I'm trusting in this venture.

I get distracted by paths, giftings, hints of possibilities for my future, but the truth is that I must remain centered on Christ. it's simple but true.

I don't know how I'm going to learn the skills necessary to be the man I want to be,
But I do know a Man who I was made in the image of. And to my credit, he's actively at work in my life. Distractions in the form of self-progress come my way more often than you'd guess, but I must stay focussed. "run the race" you know?

Here's another declaration:
(this isn't a fierce rub like the previous. It's more of a brain massage)
Being open to the odd leadings often leads to beautiful, big, heart changing experiences.

thank you for reading.
that is all.
