Burgers are good for you.

Today, I was challenged while I sitting alone overhead, people watching as they ambled around getting dinner.

Are you ready to embrace a legacy that is far greater than yourself? One that will live on?

I wanted to say yes. But I couldn't.

And then I realised why I haven't been able to see -couldn't, wasn't allowed to- see the future that's laying in wait for me to take a hold of.

Because if I were to see it now, I'll seize it, take control of it, say yes to it, for all the wrong reasons.

And I don't want to say yes to it- I want to say yes to the Person who gave it.

And I couldn't say yes... well, because to say yes to something that is so completely bigger than yourself, you stare at the enormity of it, and know that there is no chance at all that you can do it by yourself- independence is not even an option on my mind.

The only chance I have to not just survive, but to thrive, to be wholehearted and to enjoy it wholeheartedly, requires only one thing. My total, absolute, complete dependence.

That kicks up the question to a whole new level. Yes is no longer a word I can take lightly. Yes can no longer be half-hearted. Yes will be a commitment, a desire, a cry of my heart, that no one else can fulfill, or will fulfill, besides the One that will bring me through it.

I have stopped straddling between the exhilaration and adrenaline versus the fear of the unknown. I have started running in the right direction.

Not ready to say it. But wanting to say it.

I want to say yes.

Lead me, with strong hands.

As far as the east is from the west.

Today, I finally started running in the right direction.

=)

Flying rose petals.

It's not a silly little moment

It's not the storm before the calm

This is the deep and dying breath of

This love that we've been working on.

My dear, we're, slow dancing in a burning room.

Wouldn't mind slow dancing now.

Even if I don't know how to slow dance and I've been dancing solo all my life.

Even if the room's on fire.

I just need to take a breath.

A deep breath.

And I'll close my eyes, and know that You're my breath of fresh air.

The animal kingdom.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arrive

Blackbird, fly.

Lead me.

Lead me with strong hands

Stand up when I can't

Don't leave me

Hungry for love, chasing dreams

But what about us?

Show me, you're willing to fight

That I'm still, the love of your life

I know we call this our home

But I still feel, alone.

So Father, give me the strength

To be everything I'm called to be

Oh Father, show me the way

To lead them

Won't you lead me?
