I feel like opportunity is crouching at my door now. Today I feel freer, and more optimistic about life in general. Not that I have been downhearted lately, but it seems like God is doing something, changing the tapestry of my life a little bit, and now I am sitting back and looking at the picture more in depth.
Sorry if this sounds somewhat vague. I feel like that sprite (or fairy?) in the picture I posted, entitled "Longing". She's looking out into the lushness, and I crave to know what she sees. Or perhaps she's just thinking, but I would call it longing. Oh, you know, that feeling of being on the brink of something you just can't name, or knowing that something is going to change, or feeling empty and yet so incredibly full up at the same time (is that even possible?).
All things have been orchestrated by a God who has planned out everything from the beginning of time. Every bump, every ripple, every occurrence.
I am at a peace today. Its been such a surreal day for me. Things are changing in my life that I have no control over. And that is a good thing. I am at a peace today, yes I really am. I ask my heart," Are you restless? Are you sad?"
There are ripples in the pond today, but I am at a peace. A peace that is not my own. I feel like the Lord's got His hand on my shoulder, and I don't really know where I am going yet, but He is leading me somewhere with a purpose.

Hello my dear...
indeed the feeling of opportunity awaiting you is so exciting and irritating all at once. But don't crave after what that sprite sees...because she sees something meant only for her eyes...crave what He has for your own. (remember the whale and the starfish)
I know, I know, I was just being poetic. ;)
