sooo, it's a crazy sorta thing... to feel sooo at home and sooo at peace half a world away from the home i have known all my life, thus far, anyway...
at times, it blows my mind when i look around and i realize i am actually living in australia... the land down under... where women glow and men plunder... can you hear, can you hear, the thunder...
okay stop that now, seriously though...
a real mental trip sometimes... to be on the other side of the planet, so far from... my once so much... family, familiar, 'ol version of life... yada yada yada... yeah yeah yeah... duh duh duh... been there... said that... already...
to walk away from such cool luxuries i consistently enjoyed, like those amazing... pure peppermint oil deep tissue massages... thanks sue.
and those, hurts so good, skeletally releasing chiropractic adjustments... thanks dr. lois.
and of course, the occasional, but oh so wondorous pedicure/foot massage... thanks little chinese lady.
and the even funnier thing is... i sooo haven't even needed or really even desired any of those things since i have been here... in spite of the myriad of stresses that are attached to a global repositioning, in spite of the seemingly endless walking and carrying, and in spite of all the dancing, dancing, dancing, etc. etc. etc...
(*disclaimer* will still welcome a massage at any time though... thaaank uuu)
so in the world's economy these things are known to take a toll on the average human body... the average human person... such is not the case in GOD's economy though... and besides i'm not average... period... never have been... never will be... in any way... 'cuz my GOD is not average and in HIM i live and move and have my being...
HE paid my toll... HE e-z passed me in the hov lane...
and speaking of luxuries... how 'bout the luxury of gettin' a paycheck!!! haven't had one in how long now?... almost 3 months... and still i have peace!!! now, that's a miracle!... i used to get a bit stressed about spendin when i was gettin' paid... even on purposeful and necessary stuff... crazy!... but now, i can't work up a stress over it, even if i try... i'm just covered... pretty cool hay.
i mean i still have bills... and even some new ones... yet i am flooded with peace... i still have to live... to eat... to wear... to pay... and things are way more expensive here than in the great u.s. of a. that's fo' sho'...
yet still i am overcome from the inside out with peace... the kind of peace that surpasses all understanding... reminding myself to be anxious for nothing but in all things with prayer, petition and thanksgiving... letting my requests be made known to GOD and HE gives me that unsurpassable peace... choosing to meditate on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy...
and oh yeah... GOD... thank u again for the generous tax return...
so, it indeed is a funny thing... this chasing GOD thing... 'cuz all that other stuff just plain pales in comparison to the pull, the tug, the desire, the call...
the CALL of GOD... HIS HOLY calling... many are called, few are chosen...
i am chosen... set apart... my destiny in HIM...
my destiny is HIM...
just no comparison... all the combined riches in the world, all the finest cattle on the priciest of hills... just plain don't compare... period.
so as i write this... my single focus is purposed to once again be GOD and HIS amazing plan...
i surrender... again.
i die... yet again.
truly i do.
picture this: a little stick figure laying on the ground with x's as eyes and tongue hanging out of mouth, maybe even wearing a hat, hay... that's me here...
hungry once again... gimme some food pleaze... hungrier and thirstier... hungry to eat from the endless vine of LIFE... thirsty to drink from the well of ever refreshing LIVING WATER that never runs dry... desperate to be deeply initimate with that alone which truly satisfies...
new and creative desires conceived, giving way to new and creative goals... that need to be embraced... fed... nurtured... birth forth...
on another note...
colour 1 was great... album recording also great... and colour 2 even greater...
more on all that some other time... when the SPIRIT leads...
on a more random note... i detest the word 'mince'... it's way too common here... just such a gross little word hay.
toodles for now... XD
