Random thoughts for a Sunday morning thinker...

Sometimes I feel like I don't really know WHO I am. I have so many desires, dreams, ambitions, and goals for life that consume me...however I find myself living a life of sedentary living. I choose to live this life and not give in to those dreams and desires. Funny that one of my favorite quotes has always been, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you've imagined" -Henry David Thoreau. This yearning is something that consumes my thoughts daily especially at times when I have lots of time to think. That is another one of my many faults in that I am a thinker and not a doer. Unfortunately, this has always been a downfall of mine. I was always the one that thought too much about what might happen to me on the Tornado roller coaster at Adventureland, therefore to this day I have never ridden it. While it is good to be a thinker I believe it is also a vicious trap. It is so hard sometimes to put your faith in something that is unknown, yet this morning I was reminded to bind faithfulness and love around your neck and to write them on the tablet of your heart, Proverbs 3:3. Obviously in reading this it is evident that these two things are of utmost importance in this life. So important that these two thoughts/words should be consuming to me in my heart as well. The hard part is finding my place with these words. I wish it were as simple as deciding to get on the Tornado, but for a thinker like me it is not. Luckily, each day is new and I can keep making it my goal and ambition to try and get on that rickety Tornado and ride it like there was no thought to begin with just faith that whatever I decide to do with this life will be pleasing and full of love for Him and His purpose for me.
