Let's Dance.

Put on your red shoes, and let's dance the blues away.

The future. It's such an incredible thing. I get so excited when I think about all the crazy, passionate, new things I get to experience everyday.
I feel like God is definitely beginning some amazing things in my life.
It makes me want to dance.

Everyone I've met lately has been a total blessing. These people have pushed me, inspired me, and most of all, grown me.
I finally have people in my life that love the Lord as much as I do, and that I can trust completely with everything in me.
It's a brand new feeling that I adore.
All I can hear is the sound of love. It makes me move and celebrate. I want to dance.

I move to Ozark to begin JRLC in just a couple months, and each day I grow more anxious. As soon as I get into the city limits of that town, everything just falls into place. There's no stress, tension, or worry. It just feels safe. It feels like home.
And to make it even better, JRLC is filled with people I love that are chasing after God with all they have. It's so anointed. Full of worship and awe, I want to dance.

I know that everyone has the mindset that we should "live for today," and that "we can't take the present for granted".. But I am so ready for a new chapter.
I am so excited to receive new things and stretch myself to new extremes.
I'm looking to the future with eager eyes, and a heart full of hope.
Life's already so good, and this is just the beginning.
Seriously.. Let's dance.

Passion.

Passion: –noun
1. any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate.
2. strong amorous feeling or desire; love; ardor.

Passion. That sounds familiar, doesn't it?
We all have passion. We all have that one thing that drives us. It's the reason we get up each morning and face the day.
Maybe we have multiple passions. They blend together in order to inspire us. Passion is found behind every lyric, every word, every painting.

I'm passionate about God. About my friends and family. About art. About hope. About healing. About laughter.

These things push me forward. When I feel excited, discouraged, or anxious, its driven by my passion. It consumes me.

My passion makes me want to scream and sing and dance. It makes me want to cry and sigh and rest. It provides an outlet to all of the craziness that follows me. It can save the world, or destroy it.

Passion is a powerful thing.

What's your passion - Have you found it?
And more importantly, what are we gonna do with it?

Love at First Sight.

ON MY MIND:

Have you ever met someone, and immediately known you would be friends?
One look, and you KNEW..

That's my version of "Love at First Sight."
I don't think you'll fall in love romantically, but you can find a soul-mate.
By soul-mate, I mean someone you were supposed to meet.

I'm not meaning this to sound crazy, or random. But I completely believe that God has ordained for us to be friends with certain people. We have soul ties with them.
They're few and far between, but when you meet them, you'll know.

Sometimes it's subtle, and you'll think to yourself, "I could really get along with this guy."
Other times, one smile can make you best friends for life.

I wanna be that friend to everyone I meet. When you see me, I want us to love. Love because we're both happy, or both hurting, or both alive. We've all got something to start on.

It's the sweetest feeling in the world, to meet someone and just... click.
