I want to leave. To experience life. I want to see the hospitality of good people and sleep on couches, or in a car. I want to drive down a two lane highway with my friends in the car without a destination- not a word spoken with the windows down on a sunny day- arms resting on the door frame where the window would be. I want to spend nights outside under the stars admiring His creation. I want to experience the life that God would want for us. Relational. To love His people. To love this life because we only get one story. Not getting caught up in the politics of the Church or the Government. I want to spend my life helping others and loving others. I want to spread joy where there is sorrow, happiness where there is hurt and light where there is darkness. I want people to know the God I serve and love. I want to let people know that they belong in this story. Let people know that they have a place in society.
People might say these are only dreams. Well, I'm only eighteen (almost nineteen). I'm allowed to have dreams. And who knows, maybe I'll be the person that actually follows through with those dreams.
I feel the exact same way.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to do it. I don't feel held back.
i would leave in a heartbeat, but i do feel held back bc i don't want to let my parents down. i know for a fact they'd hate it if i just up and left, even though the typical go to college, get a job, work the rest of your life isn't what i want. i want to live. but i feel like i'm going to be stuck here forever.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to be stuck forever Kristen, you can get out. It's in your power to leave. I don't think I'll ever "leave". I'll always come back here because this will always be my home.
