I wanted to write a great story, geared to kids but inexplicably moving to audiences young and old from all walks of life... And then I grew bitter. I wanted to pen a play on the human condition poignant and profound, and hear of the lives touched across the globe... And then I stopped caring. I wanted to author the lyrics to The Most Emotionally Empowering Song Ever, capable of healing addictions, homes, and hearts... And then I hid my broken heart and home in a bottle. I wanted to paint a single image so intrinsically, painfully honest that no guile could stand before it... And then I couldnt see past my own darkness. I wanted to craft something so detailed and exquisite that just by touching it, one could feel the warmth and passion and care put into every stroke of the carving knife and just know that Something was out there saying it would be alright... And then I couldnt be bothered. I wanted to be a force of healing and light in the lives of others where I had none... And then I decided no one deserved what I couldnt have for myself. And then... Jesus. And then... I didnt matter Neither did my: Scars Fears Hang ups Hurts Anger Hatred Vanity Arrogance Pain Guilt Self-centeredness Failure Past And then... Forgiveness Peace Joy Love Healing My addictions were lifted off of me, my mind was uncluttered, and my heart was made anew. And while I still would like to see the miracles I talked about earlier, I now have a better chance of seeing them happen in all of your lives now that Im leaving them up to the real and true Creator and satisfying myself with simply writing, painting, and building my acts of worship to Him for all Hes done and all He is- and letting Him do as He wills with them.
