day 2

Live Passionately
Roller Coasters

1. My biggest regret if I only had a few weeks to live would be that I never returned to true deep friendship with Mariah and that no matter what, I couldn't help put their marriage back together.

2. My Someday Syndrome would include:
Someday I'll weigh 135 again
Not sure on anything else on that list.

3. My metaphor for my life fully engaged would be. Seeing God fully in every aspect of life like when Elijah heard him in the still small voice after the wind. Fully engaged would be like a peaceful whirlwind. Tornado that has sunlight on the edges. Fully functioning, creating its own energy but with God's peace surrounding it. Excitement, fear and grace.


To fully engage in my life means I have to lose control. I am an introvert but to live fully I need to learn to make conversation with people, real conversation. Look into their soul and see them as Jesus sees them. Ask the hard questions. All the while living with grace in my heart, head and hand. Willing to take what I know and pass it on to others.

Lord help me, guide me.
