thick.

...in the difficulty and pain,
when we take risks,
when our faith comes to head with...

x, y, z [everything else]

...when there is much to much emotion,
and history,
and hurt,
and lives you love...

and you stand up for your faith

HE is there.
closer, it seems, than before

Jesus journeys with us in the pain
the nearness is thick
and i rejoice in the pain

imposter.

Sometimes I look around and feel like an imposter. 

I'm a dad? 

I'm a husband?

I'm a pastor?

I bought this home? 

I'm 26 (at least for four more days)?

I feel like I'm still a kid. 

I feel like I'm playing house. 

I feel like I should still be dreaming and planning about the realities I live in. 

I guess this is part of God's wild surprises in life. 

The adventure moves quickly.
