empty resolutions.

'Shake the foundations of my heart. Touch my lips and touch my life. I will not burn out this year; I will burn bright. Inasmuch as I can see You on this side of heaven, I want to see You. I want to learn to love the way You do. Change scares me. But in this moment of transition, in this season of weird unfamiliarity or sudden loss, I'm still going to look for you. I'm tired of sitting by my own private pity pool and comparing tan lines with other people. I'm not looking for their approval anymore. No more empty resolutions. Now more frail intentions. This year, I want to do something brave and beautiful. From the deepest corners of my trembling heart, I'm whispering the same words Isaiah did: here I am, send me.
Because my days don't mean anything if they don't belong to you.'

:D what an awesome quote... i feel the same way. As I am going through so many transitions right now, i really want to accomplish greater things for God that go beyond my own plans and what I think i can do for myself. More dependence on Him, and resting in His will. That is what i desire too :D lets go for it!
