... or maybe this should be entitled "celebrating it".

A few weeks ago, I encouraged a friend to "own it"- her identity, her future, her purpose. As I openly admitted my hypocrisy while the words were coming out of my mouth, I knew that I was far from owning "it" myself.

This last week as been a huge blessing. Reality check. It took over a year to admit it, months to claim it, and a week's worth of tears and anxieties to speak of it... this week, I was hit hard with reality. At first I mourned it, then I feared it... and then I realized I was lying to myself.

The truth is that: I am beyond excited for "it". I want it so bad that it is ridiculous. I can think of nothing but it. I want to pursue ministry, charismatic ministry, college ministry, Chi Alpha, DC, seminary, and who knows what else is in store in the future. I want to walk with God through this more than anything else in this world, and I do not think that I am capable of wanting anything more than I want these things that God has spoken to me to come to be... so let's celebrate.

Celebrate progress... change... growth... potential... opportunity... what God is doing with our lives.
