Have you ever woke up one day and realized that almost everything you once believed about yourself wasn't true. All of a sudden there is the whole world of possibilities in front of you that you never even imagined...and any number of them are attainable. Well this mornng was one of those mornings for me. I have come to the realization in the last few days and weeks that I have the oppurtunity right now to do whatever I want to with my life. For the first time I don't feel trapped by circumstances. Everything that has held me in place for the last 34 years is gone. I have to say that it is a rapturous feeling and somewhat intimidating at the same time. While the efforts of many friends and one wonderful woman have helped this proccess along, I really need to give the credit to God...whom I think had finally freed me from all the chains of my past. It is amazing to just look around one day and realized that all the crap that I have been carrying my back for years is GONE......gone....really gone. Yeah I am still overweight, I still talk to much, I am still obnoxious at times....but these are things that can either be fixed, can work to my benefit, or really don't matter much in the grand scheme of things.
In other news....I got to meet a couple fellow bloggers while doing homeless ministry last night. John McCollum and Brian Estabrook....very cool. It was interest to meet someone who's stuff I have been reading for a while now. Check out thier blogs if you haven't...I haven't added them to my list yet but you can get to them(along with about half the free world) through Cannell's blog which is listed to the right. I do have to say its a little odd being refered to by your blog title though :-)
Anyway thats two down and too many to count left to go.
I also would like to take a moment to say just how cool is Jeff Cannell. I have never met anyone like him before. I think he could befriend just about anyone. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't have kept coming to Vineyard...which turned out to be a major turning point in my life. I would just to say thanks Jeff...your the best.
Well I would love to stay and chat....but I have some planning to do...the rest of my life is a long time and is going to take some planning. Have a good one folks.
