Taking a deep breath, taking a stand, taking my place

In my Films class we are watching a movie called Into the Wild. Its not the first time I’ve seen this movie but its been awhile. Watching the character go on crazy adventures and doing the things that makes his heart beat and just living in the moment. I could help but feel inspired. I have been many times called a dreamer, and idealist, someone who lives outside the normal rutine. Somewhere along the way I started believing the lies that my dreams would never become my realities. I was born to live a different life, I feel it in my bones. I used to laugh when someone told me it would be impossible. Seems lately I just agree with them and through it out the window. If we all through our dreams and crazy ideals out the window than where would be today? More and more each day I feel my heart coming back to life. The more I trust my life in Gods hands the more I feel my veins pulse with passion and love. The old feeling of needing to do better and be better are coming back. I don’t want to settle for a normal life. My life belongs to the broken, the weak and the starving. I can no longer live my life looking the other way. But oh how much simpler it is to take the easy way out. Play it safe, don’t take any chances, and live a normal average life.

You may call me crazy, insane even. Who knows maybe I am. But this is the person I truely believe God is calling me to be.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners. Isaiah 61:1″
