Decide. I am.


Decide...  I am.

I cannot be one way or another anymore.

I cannot be pushed away and pulled close.

I cannot be torn and together.  

I cannot face and look away.

I cannot be here and there.

I cannot be the person you want me to be, because you don't even know who that person is.

I cannot make you happy nor make you mad.

I cannot put one foot in front of the other while chained to the floor.

I cannot meet the expectations of your insecurity.

I cannot succeed and fail; try and fall; drive and be along for the ride.

I cannot be in charge without the charge or be responsible without the responsibility.  

I cannot submit and lead; follow and do.

I cannot.  I cannot.  I cannot. 

I cannot.

Decide...  I am.

I will be one way.

I'll walk one way.

I'll follow or I'll lead.

I'll submit or I'll have authority.

I'll have the responsibility with the leadership or I'll do my part under yours.

Decide...  I am.


Either my life matters or it doesn't.

Either I live or I die.

Either I walk or I sit. 

Either I lose or I win.

Either I carry or I drop.

Either you want me...or you don't.

Decide...  I am.


I am deciding.

I am facing.

I am walking.

I am bold.

I will follow, if you lead.  If you do not lead, I will.

I am healthy.

I am going to live.

I am deciding.



Decide.  I am.

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today.   His mama was frazzled and he was bored.  "Grab your shoes," I told him.  He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door.  After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out.  He followed my lead and bent in half beside me.  I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way.  Have you ever took a walk with a toddler?  And looked at things the way they do?  The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers.   A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house.  I stopped to admire...

Hurry. Time is Running Out...

Hurry.  Time is running out . 6.5 hours left of 12/10/2012. 4 days le ft until the weekend. 15 days left until Christmas.   21 day s until we fall over the fiscal cliff & financial Armageddon.   Time is running out. Time to make a difference. Time to count. Time to make moments matter. Time to make my life matter.     Time is running out. Time to tell my family that I love them. Time to breathe. Time to love. Time to heal. Time to restore. Time IS RUNNING OUT. BUT it is all the time I have. IT IS All the time I need.  Time to Praise. Time to Pray. Time to smile. Time to listen. Time to be.   Time is running out . Today I will take the time to love. Time to tell others about the hope I have in Jesus! Today I have the time t o listen to God. Time to reach.  Time to teach.  Time to lead.   Time to make a change. Time is running out. ...
