Transparency, Dance Parties, and Life Plans....somehow they intermingle

1. Transparency....such an awkwardly amazing word. I feel like it's one of those words in the great English vocabulary that people think about, but just don't ever what to say or put into action. It's good...it's a good word. It's something I have been learning alot about lately, cause I fight it soo much. Like if I don't use it as an action verb, my life will be good...I'll be cool...no one can see my flaws...or heaven forbid my wants and desires. But you know what I say....boo to that. Boo to not wanting to be awkwardly amazing...cause it's not about me...and if my transparency aids one person....the fight has been won.

2. I love dance parties. I look like a dork...I feel like I'm really goofy...but darn it it is probably my most favorite thing to do. I mean why else were we given arms and legs....to move of course! All I can say is that if life could be one big dance party with music playing at every chance...I would be ok with that...and I would probably move to the beat!

3. Life plans....so not worth it. At first it looks good....knowing what you want....putting that into action. Seriously, where is the excitement and adventure in that. Don't get me wrong...some planning is ok...but having a plan and saying that it will happen exactly like that...no bueno. All it brings is disapointment and dispare...and no one wants that. So I say....seek adventure...stick close to the sun....and throw your plans out the window!

So lets recap: transparency...awkwardly amazing....dance parties...should be all the time....life plans....throw em out the window and revert to number 2 : )

Beginnings

Beginnings, they are always soo awkward. There is a hint of excitement...what will happen next...what great adventures there will be? At the same time, a fear of the unknown....will I ramble...will people care....will my ending bring joy? I look at beginnings as an anticipation to the end, while being aware of the middle and all it's glory. The middle....a good place to be. Unfortunately friends...the beginning is where I am and where I must...well...begin.

I come to you not with answers, but with a sojourners heart seeking to follow the sun and all it's splender. Seeking to learn....seeking adventure...seeking a heart that is broken. I don't know what the end will produce. I do, however, know that the beginning will be awkward, the middle will be glory, and the sun will shine immaculately. I bask in the unknown...in the ramblings...in the security that the sun always shines.....even when it's awkward.

So...embrace the beginnings and anticipate the adventures as I faithfully wait for the sun!
