To Be...

This past week has been a blur of planning, people, children, new friends, closer relationships, team work, alien mask making, rocket building, skits, lots of prayers for strength, great new memories, and in the end a lot of joy. I am being constantly reminded of the strength and depth of God's grace and in the midst of all the activity I am getting to see a deeper definition of His true peace.

 




On this day to rest I was reminded of something I wrote this past month while at Calahonda beach and as I read it today I thought I'd share...
  "To be in a place, to drink it in, to let it be with you and you with it
                                         To be present
                                        To be fully here
                                     Not split, not broken
                                     But whole, complete
     A soul without fracture, held together completely by love
   Surrounded entirely by a peace without end, limit, or even understanding
                                             To be alive
                                           To choose life
                                 And to live, and to thrive,
                           To not be held back by other times
                                       Foolish and real fears
                                              To be free
                       To discover the true definition of freedom
                    No chains or weights or condemnations
                                                To rest
                                            But also to fly"
