Defy Gravity

I love Saturdays! (yes, I know I am posting this on a Sunday) I wish I could hug them and not let them go! To grasp the rest, peace and beauty that are embracing me at this moment would be a treasure that I could not bear to let go fo. Whoever said, "beauty is only skin deep" was an ignorant cad. In these days and moments I am learning how God's beauty is so comforting, healing and deeply instructive.

I must guard against being jaded in these days of not much certainty and when life seems to be written in pencil with many erasures. God's voice says:

Oh Amy, if you only knew what I have in store!

Holding onto promises and hope is too difficult. Allowing those promises and hope to embrace and hold onto me is LIFE. In the process I will glorify my God and know that in His plan is the only place I want to be...whether it be pleasant or gut-wrenching.

From the Magnificat: My soul exalts the Lord...

Yes, to be pure, simple, available and willing like Mary for the Holy Spirit to work in whatever way would glorify God...

And my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior.

To smile, laugh and know, REALLY know that God loves me and loves the world. He enlarges my heart and causes my soul to soar. My mind willingly follows suit...to defy gravity...to fly.

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by
The rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
And leap...

It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

~Elphaba from WICKED

No being jaded or disappointed or regrettful. What do I have to attribute to any of those states? Nothing! God has blessed me immeasurably and I have no reason to think He will stop. In fact I have every confidence that He will continue to do so! I serve and love a God who finished what He starts and it is a good work. He doesn't screw up or have to start over.
