“And it feels like giving in
It feels like starting over
It feels like waking up, and you know it’s coming
It feels like a brand new day
Open your eyes…” – Two Hands by Jars of Clay

i hear this song differently every time.

maybe it’s because my life is constantly changing.

maybe it’s because i’m thinking differently about things.

maybe it’s because i’ve decided to let go, and let God.

maybe it’s because i really need both of my hands to be doing the same thing.

i can’t sit here and long for something, and dream about something, and pray about something,

and never change it. or never take the first step to fulfill those desires.

so i think this is the shift in my heart that i’ve needed for a long time.

and i’m going to start a conversation about this new development with a friend tomorrow at lunch.

and i’m going to start listening to my heart, and listening to my God, and really start passionately pursuing what it is that He’s calling me to do.

even if it’s scary.

my one word for this year is fearless.

[i don’t think that’s a coincidence.]

and i’m going to start seeking out opportunities.

and i’m going to do what it takes.

and i’m excited.

and i’m nervous.

and i’m ready.

“And it feels like giving in
It feels like starting over
It feels like waking up, and you know it’s coming
It feels like a brand new day
Open your eyes…”
