Things are changing
So I am sure you have noticed that my blog is different. New name. New look (that I kind of hate, but I am not sure how to make it better…help anyone?). Here is the thing. Things are changing. I am changing. I feel like I am getting older…in the good way though. I am thinking about things in a different way. I am seeing things in a different way. God is changing my life.
And in response to that, I am changing. I am trying my best to live life more daringly. I am sick of living a safe, easy life where I take no risks. I am not talking about taking up drag racing, tough that would be kind of awesome. I just want to not live life so safely anymore, you know? I want to stop worrying about what other people would think of me if I said what I felt, or if I wore something neon orange, or if I sang too loudly in church. I want to stop looking around, wondering what everybody is thinking about me. I want to GO TO AFRICA and HELP PEOPLE without worrying about money or illness or myself or what if.
So that’s it. To borrow a line from Coldplay…no more keeping my feet on the ground. I am never going to get a chance to live this life again. I have no idea when my life may be over. And I want it to be worth something. I want to pay attention to what is important, my God, my husband, my PEOPLE, and forget about the rest. I want to live life like I love it, even though I don’t always. I am going to try, and I am not sure it will work. But here goes nothing…

Have you been reading “In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day”?
If not, you should. It’s about dreaming big and chasing lions.
