About Me

I don't want to be trivial. I'm constantly caught up in the meaningless, and it frustrates me. Every morning I ask for grace, every day I'm in need of mercy. I am loved, I am forgiven, I'm waiting for glory. I want to live with all of my might, while I do live. I'm not afraid to hurt, and I'm not scared to die. I just don't want to. One of my favorite writers is Derek Webb. He once said this, "Beloved listen to me, don't believe all that you see. Don't you ever let anyone tell you that there's anything that you need, but me." We have but one reward, and still I look elsewhere. I'm learning to love. Slowly, surely, steadily.
We are not made for mirrors are we? No. A thousand times no. We are made for mountains. We are made for majestic meditation. We are made to behold beauty, and NOT to be the source of it. Reflectors merely. Moon in orbit, mountain lake, little plastic piece on the side of a bicycle tire. We shine and sparkle, but all the while speak of something greater. Someone greater. We reflect his glory.
