Reminders from the Old Self

__________________________

note:  im making an exception to my friends-only promise only because i find this way too important to hide from the world.

“if you clear out all the space in your mind that you’re using right now to obsess about this guy, you’ll have a vacuum there, an open spot – a doorway. and guess what the universe will do with that doorway? it will rush in – God will rush in - and fill you with more love than you ever dreamed. so stop using david to block that door. let it go.”
- Elizabeth Gilbert; Eat, Pray, Love

amen to that. amen.

Today, I took the Youth to New Life to present their Missions Trip to the Philippines this summer and the pastor was deeply moved by our story and songs. They gave us an extremely generous amount of money for such a small church and was so excited for the work we’re going to do. Sometimes I lose sight. I block my doorway (maybe not with a guy named david) but with myself. I sometimes let myself get in the way of myself and of what’s important. And moments like today remind me to get out of the way of what can be.
