so live your life.

I had a visit with one of my dearest friends on Saturday. The whole day was wonderful, but my favorite part was sipping on Whittard’s Dreamtime tea while sitting on her balcony and downloading life.

Life downloads with sweet friends are so good for the soul. I always am blown away by the things my friends are doing, how the Lord is shaping their life.

The thing I remember talking about most is the ever so applicable word to people I believe in the age category of 22 - 101: transition.

Our conversation spurred on a question: Where is the balance between living the life we’re living and going to do the things we’ve always dreamed of? Can the two ideas be married ever, or are we torn by the wide spectrum?

People say to post graduates “Oh, you’re in the transition stage of life.” That’s like brushing off a teenager and chalking it up to adolescence, waiting till they come out on the other side.

Follow me: Transit = (for example) the Metro.

Lots of stops.

Lots of opportunities to get off and step onto ground.

I suppose the great beauty and the great difficulty of transition is knowing when to park and when to keep going. I don’t want to ever take for granted or wish away today.

I love today, today is so exciting.

But I also think it’s ok to gut check ourselves and make sure that today is en route to our greater life dreams.

This is the day the Lord has made,

I will rejoice and be glad in it (and thank him for giving us lives to live and dream and go and discover and do and become.)

the thing about.

the thing about blogging is that it comes with the idea that whatever you write has to be relevant.

cool, or people won't read it.

meaningful, or people won't like it.

all i'm saying is, (albeit short and non-topical) there is something to be said about:

kiva.org

twitter and what it is doing in the tehran protests.

game nights.

finding time to read a book or journal.

sleeping in.

post-dinner strolls.

oswald chambers.
