May you and I run in such a way to receive the prize of gold when we run the race of passionate faith.
Do you really love me? means, Will you accept me in process? Will you embrace what is different about me and applaud my efforts to become? Can I just be human - -strong an vibrant some days, weak and frail on others?. . . Will you love me even when I disappoint you?
We all pretend for a while or for a lifetime. But pretending is not living. . . I believe that God meant for life to take our breath away, sometimes because of the sheer joy of it all and sometimes because of the severe pain. To choose living over pretending means that we will know both.
