:: to love ::

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possiblily broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, wrap it careful round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will be broken; it will not become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers... of love is Hell."

C.S. Lewis

:: a humbling experience ::

I'm an intern. Basically its just a fancy title for my volunteering. I've sacrificed a lot for it. I hold my breath each month just to see if I'm going to make rent, or to see if I have enough for food and other bills. On top of that my family lives 3 hours away. But the truth is, I wouldn't have it any other way. I live to serve - that's what makes me happy. An now a truely humbling experience has reminded me that I'm right where I'm supposed to be. God will supply all my needs and I need not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Cheers to humbling experiences!

:: risk ::

Ever come across a fork in the road in the middle of life? It's not fun, but it's often a good time to reflect and a perfect place to catch a glimpse of what could be. However, staying too long will only convert indecision into frustration.

Don't get me wrong, choosing the right path can be complicated and it usually requires it be done with no regret. Because with each road comes the risk of uncertainty, the fear of the unknown, and the demand that you risk it all. It's inevitable. There is no guarantee. Neither path will be easy and turning back is not an option.

Which way do you go? It is up to you; no one else can make that decision. That moment is yours. In it you define your future and in it your fears can become your greatest alli. Just remember this... Your first step is always one of faith. Know that He walks with you.
