Captain's Log, July 29th
Hey, long time far from here! But, I guess today is a great day to come back, and write something. The day when, for the first time, I opened my eyes in this world... and today, also one more day when God opened my eyes to see, "again for the first time", how He can ever do more than I can expect!
Why this day is special, I yet don't know... For sure is not because it's my birthday - I already had many of them before. Maybe it's because the things God move around me now. Maybe it's something about listening to a birthday song from across the ocean, and knowing that somebody cares (danke "mummy"!)! Maybe it's about meeting people I didn't see for ages, and feeling that God has something hidden yet, bigger than my mind can wonder now! Maybe it's about feeling to be a part of something that moves, that grows, that's alive! Maybe it's something I'll just discover in the next twenty hours this day still have to me... =)
What I'm already sure, is that I don't need to understand... I just need to be thankful, and opened to receive the love coming from Heaven. Ready to be surprised by joy, prepared to move around and run! Wow! God is great, sometimes quiet, many times funny, all the times lovely... To end this thoughtful moment, a song that makes me think about what I said... I hope it can speak with you the same much it touches myself!
"After today I'll get me out of this place
Into the world so I can set a new pace
Seems I'm on my own from here
Gotta face so many fears
Won't You lay me in Your hands of grace
I've got a funny feeling that I'm gonna go away
Gonna face my future, gonna try to make the grade
I've got a ways to go from here and
Vision doesn't seem so clear but
Praise God He's got a plan and
Understanding isn't my place
After today I'm gonna come face to face
With a new world who knows I'm feeling this way
I've got a ways to go from here
I'm gonna overcome these fears but
Still I'm gonna need Your hands of grace
I'll be a bigger man for, a bigger man for today
I'll pray a bigger prayer for, a bigger prayer for today
I'll dream a bigger dream for, a bigger dream for today"
(from After Today - Sanctus Real)
So amazing! God is got a plan, and understanding isn't our place. Let's be bigger men, bigger women, and pray bigger prayers, and dream bigger dreams... for today, and tomorrow, and everyday, and always...
Stay in Peace...
