handstands and beyond


My Friend Katlin and I were walking around a city one night...we found ourselves in an alley and decided to take some pictures...I said randomly, "here, i'll do a handstand" and skipped over to do it...as i was lifting my legs in the air, a mellowing thought hit me like the sound of a balloon being popped. "i cant do a handstand" why hadnt i realized that before this point? it was too late now! But nonetheless, i did a handstand. Interesting isnt it? I didnt think i knew how to do that, but it shines light on different areas in my life as well. Have you ever felt led to do something? Just the uncanny urge to pursue something different, extraordinarily different than anything you've ever done? Why rule it out as impossible? How do you know? Its it impossible? Or have you ever tried? Lemme tell you, God bestows you with exactly what you need to accomplish His plan, dont let any comfort zone or outside opinion waver that plan. Its so beautiful, I am no expert, im just learning...letting go of the security of familiarity. Its definitely taking a while, but im stoked. I have just discovered a whole new world of opportunity. limitless.

(Psalm 19 has been a cool breeze this week)

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is pure,enduring forever.The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold;they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors?Forgive my hidden faults. 13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.-Psalm 19:7-14
