Captured Wanderings

It's so interesting how when the breeze hits the trees, how that flow of air can cause a different unique movement from each leaf it touches. The same can relate to different air flow that carries words and thoughts. Each ear that that air touches causes a different reaction of thoughts and understandings. Some can just go with it, some can take the beating. While others might become rattled by the breeze, shaking and looking unstable but holding ground. And some fall. For some that last breathe caused them to shake and fall. Never to be the same again...But they are just leafs aren't they?

These thoughts wander the same as conversation. How is it that at one point we are talking about sand paper and tree cookies when the very next moment we are discussing favorite books and verses from the bible (My campers favorite book)? It's a far stranger thought to think of how thoughts produce different lights and perspectives on situations and how they both open and close doors, creating fresh air to gasp in or a cold room to sit exposed and vulnerable.

I have been learning a lot about my own thoughts lately. My prayers have been for clarity and bold words to speak true to not only those whom surround me but also to myself. Prayers that long for His presence and encouragement through all of the chaos that has been these lasting moments of my life currently. So far this is what has been translated and distinguished:

I can't be anything I am not. There are so many things I wish I were but wishful thinking is a fake state of mind...Life's not like the movies and we as individuals change all the time. Life is not always "all that and a bag of chips" Or a fruit snack, or a water melon, or brownie, or cup cake, or a cold beer. It is not something that has been produced by man. It has been given to you by a powerful God because He is fulfilling a purpose through you.  I want to love people...

It's so strange and yet so incredible when God slips His way into conversation creating new perspective and enlightenment...Frustration and growth.  

Something to add...
