Until tonight.

I have a story to tell.

It is mine.  It is unique.  Most of the time it is extremely, gut-wrenchingly hard to articulate it with those that are the closest to me (even harder to put in up on the Internet).  It seems that I am constantly in a battle that says that my story is no different than the guy next door.  That the path that I am walking on is monochromatic and uneventful.

Until tonight.

I was created to be a champion.  What exactly does that mean?  I intend to find out.

I used to be a dreamer…then I decided to “grow up”.  It has taken me 14 years to realize that I committed a huge mistake because I shut off a very integral part of who I was created to be.

Until tonight (because my dreams take me into the very heart of the Father).

I used to be jealous of people who I perceived to find answers they were looking for in Scripture that supported and encouraged where they were in their own respective journey.

Until tonight (because I found one of Jesus’ hidden promises of love for me).

I know that I was created for something big.  How big?  Bigger than this restored dreamer can ever begin to imagine.

Until tonight (because I intend to get close).

Tonight is the night where I am writing in my heart that I matter.  That Heaven and all that it contains waits in breathless anticipation for every move I make.  I am a dreamer.  I was created to dream big.  I was formed so that I could actually be an involved participant in the exact moments where my dreams become reality.

I am highly favored by the King of Kings.  My thoughts and questions and inquiries mean everything to the Creator of the universe.  The Lord of my salvation earnestly desires to see my walk everyday in the freedom that He bought and secured for me at the cross.

This is going to be journal of a portion of my life where the reader will see how Jesus leads His kids along wandering paths (to our minds) with specific intentions.  My only request – just walk beside me and be my friend.

Starting…tonight.
