i don't know which way the earth spins

i don't know which way the earth spins
all i know is there is motion under my feet
dizzying and fast, and full of tension
like a roller coaster car at the top of the drop
and the world takes a breath
my head both spinning and still
i wait for the bottom to fall out
and the rush of thrills and whissshing wind
and hope

My Heart Is Full To Bursting

I know everyone's already seen this video, and no one really reads this blog anyway, but I want to post it. My heart is full to bursting with excitement and mourning, joy and bereavement. I'm so glad that others will be getting to experience what I have, but I'm grieving the goodbyes that soon must be said. But I know in my heart that this is right, and I'm stunned and thrilled by the response of those that call The Anchor Fellowship home. I've never seen a group of believers this large be this unified. God is doing something in Nashville, and it's spreading to Portland and London next. Don't know that I've ever felt such joy, however bittersweet it might be.

In A Good Way

I think that God is stirring something up in me, though I don't know what. All I know is my dreams of years have been bubbling to the surface to meet new interests and possibilities. I feel certain that me a year from now will be far different than me right now. In a good way.

That is all. My stomach's been hurting all day, and I want sleeeeep.....

something's leapt within me

something's leapt within me
and it is i know not what
all i know is change has come
and it is only beautiful

something's leapt within me
and i can feel a motion poised
that weightlessness before a freefall
and it is only beautiful

something's leapt within me
like the baptist in his mother's womb
LOVE is here and he is moving
and it is only beautiful
