thanks val

the simplest songs, words, pictures, faces can sometimes push you right over the edge of a cliff you've been longing to jump off of
but
just
can't.

And then they hit you. They hit you and you fall face forward into the abyss that is...Freedom. I have spoken on it in the past. The free fall of freedom. And because I have actually experienced free falling from an airplane, I now know more than I did before of this truth.

And Val, you did it. your blog today, pushed me right over my edge. I can't stop singing it. I can't stop thinking about it. Pure and Holy passions. Magnificant obsessions. And it's sending me towards what I know is Freedom. For I have fallen before. And I choose to fall hard now. And I can hear the voices of friends I know sing it. I can picture a piano in a chapel in the middle of the work day. I can see a guitar and a roof top. I miss my fellowship. Not much of that here. Actually, the last time I got to sing worship with anyone was WAY too long ago. Easter maybe. How do you make those changes in your life? Once it was just what I did. Every Sunday, often Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays I was at church. And that is not what I know life would be like now, but one day a week given over to practicing the discipline of gathering together. And how...
But perhaps that is the best part about freedom. How it changes. And how, I honestly have NO idea what it will look like this time. Or what it will feel like, but I know that the beginning is feeling familiar. And
IT
rocks!

This song has been a constant in my heart as well. I love it! Fall, my dearest friend, fall hard. You know that He will catch your heart and make it soar. YOU were meant for it.
The ache in my heart to be with you is overwhelming. Worshipping along side of you is one of my favorite places in the whole world. XOXO

Aren't you in Gods Country? Go outside & sing your freaky little heart out. He will hear you, & He will surround you. Remember you are never alone.
