no control

no where near

I'm thinking today about how glad I am that life hasn't fully unfolded for me yet. Not that it ever fully unfolds itself in a given period of time. But today I'm relieved and excited that I haven't even come anywhere near to scratching the surface of all that I'm called to walk into, all that I'm created to be. I'm relieved that my dreams didn't come true. Everything I wanted was too small and limited and fleeting. And actually, the only things I'm taking with me are so big that I cannot live without them and they must come along. Everything else is being put to the side. All only prerequisites to the main course. I haven't begun to realize the woman I'm soon to be.

submission

Learning to submit; and resist running head. Into my own thoughts, ideas, and interests. Staying in step with you is difficult. You were Created so differently, but I love you more than my own desires. Really, I do. So I want to start over again and learn to get lost in you; in everything you are. We'll learn that inspiration gives way to submission. And that the battles we fight together are what will keep us intimately intertwined. Love without limits, love without boundaries.

“Play the game for more than you can afford to lose…only then will you learn the game.”

power

"And then there was this moment I realized that I needed to step into my power...and be...fearless...Really step into it and not worry about it anymore." -RH

wars and revolutions

When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away. Then he said to them: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of My name. This will result in your being witnesses to them. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of Me. But not a hair of your head will perish. By standing firm you will gain life. Luke 21: 9-19
