Perfection in Motion

I love the beach.


It's perfectly balanced...



Land and sea, two immensely different things, in absolute peace.

And yet, it's peace is actually...well, anything but.

I just, I love the juxtaposition of it all.



The uproar of the waves breaking,

The stillness of the sand sizzling...



The ebb, the flow,

The give, the take,

it's all the same...

You can't tell the difference from either.



Because as you stand in the middle of it all,



There is no solid ground, there is no middle ground...and yet, there IS ground.



The beach is where the ocean becomes indiscernible from the land...



I think... I think that's how life with God is supposed to be.



We were designed to be indiscernible... Not equal per say, but,

in step...



We were meant to walk in stride together,

But it's almost like sin 'shipwrecked' us.



And we spend our lives struggling to get back to shore...

Back to that perfect balance.



And sometimes,

actually,

quite often,





We walk right past Him,

We end up in the middle of the desert,

crying out "Where are You! You lied!"

When he says "No, you walked right past me. Come back, step in, swim out to Me."



And we're afraid, we just came out of the ocean. We JUST escaped the rip tide.

But we step in anyway.

Are we crazy?

Or are we just really that trusting?



Well, I don't know.

But what I do know is,



I am going to dedicate my life to finding that perfect balance.

Where the sand meets the water,

Where I meet God.

Sitting in The Field

Have you ever maybe wondered what a flower looks like to an ant?

Maybe he looks at it,

and maybe he doesn't see a flower...

maybe instead he sees an adventure.

A mountain to climb...

What if every time we "stopped and smelled the roses",

What if we didn't just smell a pretty flower?

What if we smelled adventure?

What would be different?

Would anything be different at all?

What would you but if you won the lottery?

...I'm going to assume that you meant to use the word "do"...

I would probably put it all in the bank, 80/20 (savings/checking) and with the 20% I would probably use to buy things like music, books and movies or trips to places with friends. ahaha

There is no better way for a question to be answered, than to ask it(:

How are you?

this question...is vague and doesn't actually ask anything...

I am currently fairly stressed out for the upcoming play, but am otherwise at peace with where I am in life... I like who I am, and where I'm headed, I just wish I could get there faster. ;D

where do you want to go to college?

somewhere... away. I'm thinking maybe somewhere east coast... or maybe somewhere like Seattle... who knows! I still have to figure out what I want to do...
