A couple, literally “a couple”, of my friends have embarked on a new adventure.  I am really excite for them because they have both wanted this for some time.  The question in each of their minds was “Does he/ she want that just as I do?”  The new adventure is the pledge of being part of eachother’s lives for as long as they both shall live.  My that sounds all encompassing!  Well, it is and that is what two people in love want.  They want that committment, that bonding.  I for one, say that is a beautiful experience that God created.  So, three cheers!

The time draweth nigh…if I shall stand

I am feeling the dawn of this new time in my life.  The waiting is almost over.  The haze is going to lift and the daystar will rise.  In that moment, I am not sure what I will experience.  Herein lies the tension, the joy, the tears, the hopes, the realities of my present life.  It is in the unknown where I must trust.  I must trust in the one who holds “unknown”.  For He is Known and Unknown in the same moment. Perceivable, yet shrouded in the mist of the unperceived.  That is why He is Him: God/ the One. It is He who has first loved me and not only that, He loves me first all the time.  This is not an historical act that has had a lifechanging affect in my life.  It is a constant in the state of being primary in the lead position. He is the conductor; trust, play.

This is a new experience

Last night was the beginning of a new era of my life.  I do not know how to broach the subject, simply because I am not sure how to actually speak correctly or intelligently about what church membership is. I do have mixed feelings about being part of a church and experiencing what it is like to merge my life with others in a very direct way.  You know, I have been pretty independent all my life and any commitments that I have made were undertaken when I deemed them desirable.  This move has been different in that it was initiated by my move to Poland for two years and therefore was not something that I chose (in the strictest sense of the term).  I say all of this not to diss the whole process or to make it sound like an undesirable thing.  This is simply one thought pattern that my brain has followed in the recent past.  I felt so much support from the church and the members.  Feeling love and connection in my heart towards the pastor is also a wonderful thing.  I have not always felt that way about religious organizations.  So more than anything, my statement is a salute to Milo, his love and skill, that has embraced me for who I am.  He is a good man! Thanks to the church for the deeply religious experience.  Thanks to my friends for the encouragement.

. . . give the heavens above more than just a passing glance.

The new, the “over my head”
