When I was young I had three goals. I wanted to climb Mt. Everest, run in the Olympics and become a writer, all equally lofty in my opinion. I believe God has put in me the desire to do great things and I think that I can apply that desire to anything I choose. I released the climbing and the running, and drew close to God to pursue the work of my soul.
In his beautiful book, The Book of Awakening, Mark Nepo tells of two monkeys asleep in the zoo, their fingers touching allowing them to doze in their oneness, perfectly at peace. I want to spend my waking and sleeping moments with my fingertips touching God’s.
God made me to connect. I have experienced exhilaration, like anything is possible, beside another person. Imagine touching God each moment, connecting to His force of love and grace. How precious, full and golden life is in His presence.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Ephesians 6:10
