Living Love in the moment...

I hit *new post* and what comes up... ?

A blank page. No title in the title line and a big ol' white box for me to write in... hmmm... it may seem silly... but that blank page hit me hard.

That is life for me right now. I have a lot of decisions to make, but most of them really come down to me asking myself, what do I want and need next? Where am I going? What is this next chapter of life? And does this next chapter of life have some of the same characters from previous chapters?

I have come to realize that not only do we have these monumental times in our life that we often categorize as a 'new chapter', but that really every moment is a blank page waiting to be written. I know... that sounds so corny... and most of you know I'm not that person at all... yet it makes a lot of sense to me.

Right now, for me I may not have a great idea of where I want this 'chapter' to go... but I do know that I want the theme of every moment of my life to be of Love. So that is what I will do and try to be in this moment, even though I don't know exactly what that looks like...


Love.

Blessed Be

I don't even know where to begin...

God is using me in a huge way right now... yet it kills me. I've been hurt and betrayed... yet I'm supposed to Love and extend Grace. How can I Love when I don't feel Loved at all. Somehow the choice to forgive was so easy... so right... so simple... so freeing.

Yet there are so many emotions, so many thoughts, so many questions... it's consuming me. I don't know why this is happening or had to happen, yet I know that I am called to show this world Christ. Even those who rip out my heart and piss on it... am I called to Love.

I don't get how I can feel like such a blessing to many... yet not blessed at all.

Yet he said,

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

I will hold onto and somehow trust in that...

Love.

The call of Prue

Camp.

Supervising high school students... I don't think I really need to say much more... yet, I will:

I've decided this summer I have been a youth pastor everyday... organizing, overseeing, and participating in service projects, Bible studies, and fun communal activities... doing that every day has worn me out.

Now as my co-worker and I feel like we have control over it all, we are drawing to a close. And that means it's time to have a plan for the fall...

but I don't.

Yet I feel like God has called me like He called Abram. Go to the land I will show you... hmmm. I kinda like to have things planned out so I don't even know where to go first... what's the first step when you don't know the destination?

I wish I could say that I'm excited for this next little adventure, but really I'm afraid.

I am tired of school.

Well here we go... I'm writing with the hope that this will be motivating... for myself.
It seems like a good deal of my work for the semester is happening now... and I... well... I am tired of school.  I love learning, and quite frankly I know that I will want to continue my education in one fashion or another. But taking 4-5 classes every 4 months (minus the summer time) for four and a half years... scratch that 16 and a half years... is quite tiring.

I'm ready to live beyond school, yet somewhat afraid of that unfamiliarity.  I'm ready to not slide by with a decent grade in a classroom, but to learn about life... the good the bad and the beautiful (because the ugly sometimes is the most beautiful).

So here I am thinking for myself and writing what I want so that I will have some motivation after I finish this to finish college, and finish strong.  Knowing that this is how I want to spend life after college makes it easier and serves as a reminder to think about what I'm learning now... as well as continuing on later.  Because really, if I'm not wanting to learn when I'm submerged in great information and in close proximity to professors who are passionate and knowledgeable... then frankly I probably won't learn it later (or at least it will be more difficult).

I'm going to suck it up.  Turn off the Food Network... not make another pitcher of sweet tea... get off facebook... and learn.

Other things to note:
- Italy and Germany plans are solidifying and so is my excitement and anticipation... If you know of any sites to see in Germany post them... because I will probably get to travel some while I'm there.
- I ate calamari last night and it was pretty tasty... the last time I had it was when I was 17 and a little less appreciative of foreign food.
- Apple orchards are a great date outing.
- I'm quite excited to make it back to Kansas City soon!  Family, Friends, and BBQ :)
- My philosophy class is quite an interesting place... sometimes I come out of there feeling like I'm so beyond my years... and other times I can just be so frustrated.
- I miss my nephew a lot.

That is all I have for today... now for some homework time... oh joy.

Love always and FOREVER
Prue
