January 1, 2006

...the New Year is upon us and with it we embrace what comes...

But what do you do if the happenings of life don’t all add up? Or I guess they do – but not arriving at the answer you expected. What happens when you have dreams that are so real, almost tangible & seemingly in an instant you’re shaken awake from that? What happens when the answer you’ve been “given” contradicts what you believe?

Our life is but a breath…

I don’t say that with a hopelessness.....it’s truth. I say it because with that knowledge, with that revelation, I examine my life and all that I have to show for it. Where do I come out on the score card?

I want this year to be different, to be amazing, to go beyond Laurie’s expression of living – what she knows thus far and reach out for what You would bring...

“He is not safe, but he is Good” – This was a line from the Chronicles of Narnia.....just hearing/reading it again stirs something of a response in me. I know I’ve definitely settled too often for the safety.....too often clung to the ordinary....


My hope/prayer for 2006 (& beyond) is to let go of the ordinary, the safety, to experience the extraordinary, the Good!

Our life is but a breath...
