Wake up!

One little text from Pemba, MZ.

He remembers me.

Thank you God.

Dreamin' and Making Lists.

It is a new year.

And to be honest I dont feel motivated to move and change.

So here is my prayer: that God would change this comfortable heart of mine and give me purpose, passion, diligence, and fight!

I always have short term goals running.

But year long goals have never been for me.

But these are things I need more of in my life, and I hope I can look back on 2012 as the year that I grew and my spirit went through transformation.

I want to be in the WORD. more and more.

I want memorization to take place.

i want to be diligent in my Greek class.

I want to wake up earlier and live by the sun,

after all I am a sunshine girl.

I want to write more letters,

and tell people i love them.

I want to laugh loudly, because whats the point in holding joy in.

I want to shut up more and listen lots.

I want to see past the physical and listen to the heart.

I want to learn a new culture

I want to love because I have been loved.

I want to record the smallest, most beautiful, details.

I WANT TO LIVE IN THANKSGIVING!

I want to wear more dresses

and live in the beauty of God.

I want to wear glittery things and not be embarassed

I want to break free from comparison,

jealousy,

self-centeredness,

fear.

I want to fly like a bird who just realized that it isn't caged in by bars.

I want to call my sisters more.

and thank God for my family more.

I want my smile to be contagious

I want to write a story

and dance in the rain:)

and thank God for the snow, even when I would rather the sunshine.

I would like to live more by intention and less from habit.

I want to live in the resurrection power that invades my life.

I want to be aware when I am bored,

and fight like hell to get my heart out of that dangerous spot.

I want to be awake to the divine

I want to see sacred things in the mundane.

I WANT YOUR WORD TO BE BORN IN ME!!!

I want creativity to overflow

and I want to become a woman of truth

I want to see my body as a temple of the Holy Spirit

and I don't want to be dry bones.

I WANT TO DANCE!

I dont know how all these things will take place,

but I believe that these are glimpses of fully living.

and I believe that I am promised life to the fullest.

And i believe I will get that even if it come in completely different ways then I think.

I believe LIFE is coming.

I believe I am pregnant with LIFE.

I know I am!!!

So I will dance:)
