INTO THE WILD

At one point I imagined myself running away from this world and
escaping to whatever desolate location my heart could provide me the
strength to find. I am one of those men blessed with a spirit of
freedom that cannot be contained, as my thirst for adventure cannot be
satisfied by the trivial pursuit of life's end. Rather I find myself
living for those moments that make my heart gallup faster as my chest
rises and falls with a heavy breath of life. I find myself in love
with a God who created me to dream, created me to dare, and created me
to be free.

I find myself led into the wild.

Not some wilderness or expanse of lonely majesty, but rather the
wild... the uncharted territory of my future, a future that has yet to
be laid out. Here at the edge of this great world I boldly stand up
with eyes wide forward, searching, seeking for that Truth that gave me
the courage to rise at all. Before me stands the wild, and with my
burdens bared and yoked next to me, I step forward in the boldness and
strength that is not my own.

And the best part of it is that I have people to share my happiness
with. "Happiness is real when it is shared." People will never
forget the happiness you've shared with them... so let my life be just
that; a joy in community.
