Why am I here? Have you ever asked that question? I have a lot lately. Not necessarily to life itself, but at this stage in my life. After being out of college for 9 years, I find myself back where I started, and not knowing what's next. If it weren't for the times I have seen God work before, I would think for sure that there must be no way out; that this is all my life will be. And that's not enough. Don't get me wrong. I have been blessed with a wonderful family, a great church family, a nice home, a job that pays the bills, but there is something inside of me that is screaming to get out....knowing that there must be something more.... Each day seems to become more and more of a chore. The harder I try to change it, the harder it seems to get. Yet the voice inside me screams more. I am tired of fighting. The more I fight for that dream, that desire, I feel like the toddler first learning to walk. Just as I get close, it gets moved back more. And yet, when I try to quit, I can't. I yearn to be free, but it seems that there are invisible shackles holding me down. My heart cries out:
Set me free - from these chains that hold me down
Set me free - from these fears that have me bound
I am dying in this life that seems to hold me captive now
But I know there must be more; Set me free....
While everything around me seems to scream "Give it up, there's no way!" I can't keep going like things are. I just want to be free...

We are merely sojourners through this life. We will encounter many different faces and places, all in our journey through life as we seek to serve our Amazing God. Through this journey, we encounter trials and difficulties, victories and accomplishments. All of them bring us closer to Him and to the person we are created to be. This is a collection of my random thoughts on this journey called life.
