(Life)

I'm twenty eight today. Life is good. This state of limbo--between my old life and my new life--I could do with out. This gap between the present and the future seems so interminable! I have all the anticipation of my new life, none of the excitement of my old life, so I'm caught between churches, between phone calls, between jobs and between breathing and actually living.

When I close my eyes tonight, lay my head on the pillow, dream for the first time the dreams that twenty-eight-year-olds dream, I'll feel it--that mental grasping where you close your eyes tighter, tighten your muscles slightly and want the future. Want to be married. Want my business to succeed. Want to be a man of God. Want to be outside of these parenthesis.

Try not to segregate your life so much. Remember that you do not have an old life of a new life...you have your life and you are living it every second. Limbo is a stat the we create metally and emotionally when we are expecting ourselves to enter an alternate reality when an event takes place. The day after you are married...it is still the same life...it is almost scary how little changes. The day after going to a new church, or job, or whatever presents nothing less than the life you were living before with a few new variables. Just seek the Lord...and lay everything you have (your burdens and your desires) down as a sacrifice to him...make that your day to day endeavor. You will not find yourself in a new life, but becoming that "new creation" as the "new things are coming."

Praying for you, buddy!
