here we go

.
today, i take my first step out into the unknown once more. its a little different now, nothing at all like the past adventures.
i've lived a few more years, felt many more failures, cried buckets more tears.
true, there were priceless memories and a handful of hearty successes.
but, i'd say i'm none-the-wiser for the path that lies ahead. in fact, today, i am more afraid than i've ever been.

because there is more to lose and each failure leaves a deeper scar than before,
but there is a whole world to gain, and more than that is
the knowledge that I am answering His call for my life.

awareness is painful, but sobriety is wisdom.

wisdom is counting the (expensive) cost, but the cost is worth every second.


the clock ticks away my life on earth, but eternity beckons -

laziness, procrastination and fear hold me back, but i serve the One who declares the captives free.

one fine day, ten or twenty years from now, i'll look back at this and cringe at the half-baked attempt to write here, but i believe, i will also thank God for the amazing things He has done with this willing but inept life. so, just so it is clearly made known to myself and the digital world, His strength is made perfect in my weakness. If I fail depend to on God, I will fail. Life has proven to me that I am nothing. This will prove that with Christ as my foundation, I am all He has made me to be.

so here, cheers to a new season. 
lets get started,
out the emergency exit we go.
