Risk
“Risk your life and get more than your ever dreamed of. Play it safe and you have nothing to show for it.” inspired by Luke 19…
I must say Risk is way different than taking chances…Taking chances in a life that you claim as your own is risky but not in courageous sort of way. It is kind of like jumping into an abyss and knowing you were forced off the edge. There is no willingness to it. I have felt lost in certain romantic relationships due to this mindset. This “what is there to catch me?” feeling is wondering if everything will be ok- scary! I think there is trust when you take a risk for example, trusting arms that will hold me on a trapeze.
I am very thankful for my community around me and have even had some healing “family” times with people I have met recently. It is amazing how God can connect people who do not have big families (or functional). I am also glad for blogs which I unfortunately don’t have any readers yet apparently.
Certain things I am excited about:
~Christmas (duh)
~going to see a friend act in “Its a Wonderful Life” (favorite Christmas movie)
~seeing Christmas lights with the Barron family
~eating more See’s candy
~spending time with my cousin and dad in the city even if it is just being with them while they are talking about artsy movie production stuff
~getting dental coverage (yay teeth!)
thankful too…
for the bible, shelter, food, a job, friends…
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Beth
