Today, I will do what I know to do.
I have this absolute, burning desire to do something that matters.
To make a difference.
I want to travel the world, record in words and pictures and story the aspect of God’s character that shines through each culture I encounter.
I want to be a character on the stage, embody a moment, bring people into the experience we call live theatre, and I want to do so in a way that causes people to encounter a God of truth, love, and power.
I want to paint a picture that makes someone cry, or speaks a message of hope to a nation.
I want, more than anything, to be the someone special to one single person for the rest of our lives. I want a brood of children and a home to bring people into.
Today, I will do what I know to do.
There are so many things I want to accomplish.
I want to change the world-but where the heck do I start?
My passions are running around in all directions, how do I choose what to run after?
When I run, I run with passion, purpose, and purity. It’s when the purposes are multiplied that I freeze up in confusion.
How do I even begin?
Today, I will do what I know to do.
I know that my creative brain needs some inspiration- I will draw a page in my sketchbook
I know that my roommate’s love language is acts of service- I will do the dishes
I know that it’s time to buy groceries- I’m going to the store
I’m at the store-I know that I’m a steward of my body- I will buy more kale and forgo the cookie butter (this time)
I know that I’ve been feeling the urge to record my journey and share my thoughts- so I write this blog (even if it feels overwhelming and I have to let go of perfectionism)
I know that today I will do what I know to do. There is no place for apathy here.
