Lately my most inspiring moments have come at the most inopportune times. Meaning, I don't have the time or the ability to sit down and write when I want to. So, thoughts of late...
"Your heart is free, have the courage to follow to it." (Thanks, Greg) Love this quote and often find myself referring to it in life. I love that it can go so many directions. For those of us that find ourselves "wandering" through life looking for the our place, the next adventure or maybe just a change of pace, we know that sometimes the direction is made pretty clear and other times we just follow our heart.
Getting to know someone, letting them get close and even loving them can be dangerous. There's always the risk that someone is going to get hurt. But the risk of not loving is perhaps even greater because you may end up missing out on what could be a huge blessing and one of the greatest things to happen to you here and now.
Season or Reason. Camp provides the opportunity to meet so many people. And sometimes I find myself wondering about why God brings certain individuals into our lives at the times that He does. Is it for a reason? Most likely. And sometimes that reason is pretty obvious. Other times, not so much. Or we may not see it until further on down the road. And then there are those that are just for a season, a little while. They aren't going to be a major part of your life for long and you may never speak to them again. It may seem strange even that you met them, but perhaps they needed you for a bit. And some seem to be for a season, they go as quickly as they came, and yet, there may still be a greater purpose.
Lack of Theology and Politics. Okay, so I don't really have no Theological stand point, but it's constantly changing and evolving. It's becoming harder and harder to pin me down on any one issue or topic. Why? Because I'm not one of those people that is convinced that I'm right. I know I don't have all the answers. And I often find myself reading a part of Scripture that I've read a hundred times before and interpreting it differently than I've seen it the last several times. Also, I love it when someone pulls out some seemingly random story from the Bible (the Old Testament is great) and puts a whole new spin on it. Or makes you think about a familiar story from a different stand point.
Politics, I really do lack a lot of opinion in that area. Mainly because I don't care. Maybe I should, but I'm okay with being in the middle of road on that one with no real conviction one way or the other. Perhaps when I get old and more stubborn I'll decide to take an interest. Maybe.
