There are these times in life where we are granted moments of clarity. Where the fogs of distraction and day to day worry dissipate. Where the beauty the path desired is revealed with as much clarity as the blue skies of autumn.
These moments often come in the simplest of times. Driving home in the warmth of a summer night; with the sound of wind passing through open windows, and your favorite music set as loud as you are able to stand.
Life's continuance may leave you despairingly addled about it's direction and it's meaning. There are times where you may feel entangled, endlessly in a drift into foreign waters.
But, when clarity calls it's as if God Himself took pause to breath promise into your heart. An expression of cosmic love filled with intention and design.
I desire to learn a love filled with a furiousity that could only be taught by God. Pushing to burst outside the selfish barriers of a shy nature. Being filled to the brim in the confidence of Christ, that it pours out to any and all it impacts.
I long to be noted by kindness and compassionate friendship. To relinquish freely without the thought of cost to myself. I want to share anything in me that is good and right.
I aspire to be a greater husband and a better father. To serve and to lead, to teach and to learn. I want to combat the urge of putting myself first and make the needs of my family priority above my own. I want to create and share with the world.
I want to adventure, to laugh, to sing. I want to tell stories of the world that surrounds me through the lense of a camera. Finding beauty in the lives of others. Stopping time in a frame just to capture that extraordinary beauty that marks our souls.
I want to live well with the knowledge that my race was run with all of the effort I could force from myself. And in that end I will hear that soft still voice saying, "Well done, it's time to come home".
