lingerings

As last night has lingered on in my Spirit a little a few things have come to the surface...

-my arrogance, agenda, and insecurity often get in the way of me being able to both recognize and receive good and beautiful things from God that might come in a little different form than I am used to.

-In the life I was leading this time last year, I wouldn't have been able to be both places.  Life would have kept me spinning in my own little world, consumed, and unaware that there are equally beautiful worlds out there, where equally beautiful things are going on.  I am grateful for this space and this time...it expands my seeing.

-I am unnecessary...Young Life (just like the rest of the world) is getting along just fine without me...and that's a thing of beauty as well.
