I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh
I am a pioneer naïve enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to seek, destined to know
Destined to serve, destined to roam . . .

~ Wunderkind, by Alanis Morrisette (song for Queen Lucy of Narnia)

Girl Meets World

I am so hopelessly afraid. Afraid of change and of loss. Afraid of becoming who I think I might be. I have had an on-going conversation with God for the past 32 hours and counting. I am learning to trust. In that time period I have had many things I love vanish into thin air - a good friend, a place to live, a plan for my life - my plan.

It must be you, though, Father, because I feel such a peace. You told me things were going to change very drastically in a short period of time. You told me not to get comfortable where I am because you are leading me on and out yet again. "Get up and go to the Land I will show you". . . those words given to my ancestor Abraham now ringing in my ears.

You are not safe. You are not a tame God. But You are good. I trust you, Lord. With my life and all that it entails. I choose to view this big world through the eyes of a child who knows that her Daddy knows what's best. I will choose to be inspired. In awe. In total abandonment to my own agenda and fully embracing the things you have for me. I will meet the world head on and trust that you have plan for my life, and I will be present within myslef, even in the difficult and painful times, for you are in control and you know what's best for me.

In the stereo at the moment:

Even if your hope has burned with time,
Anything that's dead shall be re-grown
And your vicious pain,
your warning sign
You will be fine

Hey, here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin. . .
