Sitting here in this...

Clearing my head, for five minutes of free writing
 without worrying about getting it right.
This week's prompt chosen by Lisa-Jo: Here
And, go...


Sitting here in this coffee shop and wondering, do I share the raw truths of my heart today?
Do I let them go, here in this space?
Hoping that someone may find Hope and Grace in them, through them.
So here I go...

If love never fails, why is it so hard?
How do couples, two people, get past the past hurts, fears, and percieved societal rules
to actually be free to love one another.

And if they aren't in that place yet.
How do they get free enough from their own selfish self to truly learn about and
grow with another to see if it's worth pursing?

How do you get past the hard? 
The own ideas each of you have brought to this place, 
to learn the true heart of the other?

What would happen if you didn't listen to,
forgot all of society rules,
expectations,
 and movie magic?

And instead came real, 
stayed real, 
and were honest.

Not quitting when it got tough or confusing but pushing through to the heart.
 
To dare to take a risk, a leap, to fly.

Sitting here in this coffee shop, a blessed friend, encourages me...
share those words,
wait for those words,
that is what God wants.
That is what you want.

...Wait for God's best she says...

STOP.

By His Grace and for His Glory,

The Intersection of Opportunity

I am standing at the intersection of opportunity and I am frozen.
Is it fear? Yes, I'll be honest and swallow that one.

My heart is pounding out beats along this road and I am searching.
Prayers are going up,
I have what I need.
The rest is up to me.

I desire this opportunity, 
want it completely.
But, I don't know which road to take.

I am frozen in the blessing of opportunities and fear is threatening to steal it.
I know God is with me wherever I go, 
then why is this choice so hard?

There is much I want to do.
To see.
All are the right choice.
Which do I take beats loud my heart.

Fear can no longer be a companion on this road, 
no longer a back seat driver on this journey to opportunity.
No, it must go!

The lights I know will soon turn and flash green to go.
I know when it does,
HE will be there with me.

Can't HE just paint the answer in the sky?
No, not this time.
It must be a leap.
A leaf of faith.

So I find myself standing at the intersection of opportunity.

What intersections are you standing at right now?
