Are you like me? Do you have a desire that you’ve not gotten around to fulfilling?
If so, why not?
Oh, I’m sure, like me, you have many reasons (possibly excuses) that you swear by.
I can’t, I just don’t have the talent, or money, or energy, or time, or ____________.
At one time or another, I’ve used all of those reasons and a few more.
Friend, I’m here today promising myself and declaring aloud to you that I AM no longer willing to replace my soul’s desire with excuses.
Why not? What’s changed?
I have.
My soul is hungry. It’s crying for me to just get on with it.
Dear, I could share with you that I live out many of my soul’s callings and that ignoring this one yearning won’t make that much of a difference. But I know that’s just another excuse.
I can no longer comfortably live inside my excuses.
I can no longer ignore the throbbing of my ever-increasing ache.
You know, that’s what happens when you try brushing off your soul’s craving.
If unattended, what starts out as an inkling grows larger and larger until it becomes pervasive, shadowing every corner of your life.
I don’t want to live in a shadow. Do you?
Dearest, I need the light, and I imagine you do too.
