Fearless

I got this tattoo in black light ink.  Once healed, it will be completely clear and will only show up under a black light.  Just a little reminder to fear God and live simply (less is more.)  


Today the adventure begins...  This morning Karah, Ben, and my Mom made an amazing breakfast of fruit and corn pancakes (the thin delicious kind.)  Making corn pancakes is kind of a family tradition.  I hated them as a kid and used to pick out the corn, but now I love them.  My parents drove me to Erin's place in Philadelphia (an amazing loft near Penn's landing.)  It was great to see her.  She moves to Denver on September 7th.  We just barely missed each other this time but I know we're life-long friends.  That makes it a little easier to say goodbye.  


My flight to LA was quick seeing as I slept 60% of the time... Face down on the tray table with my seat in the upright position.  When I finally awoke, I found myself sitting next to the most delightful 12 year old and her glamorous mother.  An actress living out her dream in LA (so inspirational) and the most well-spoken 12 year old I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.  They were both those creative dreamer types who actually DO and LIVE the things they dream about.  


I've always felt emotions very deaply.  Extreme end of excitement or happiness have been countered with hollow depressions.  During this transitional time I knew I would be facing one or both of these emotions.  So three weeks ago I prayed for peace.  This peace is so unlike my character and I can only aknowledge that it is God-given.  But I've felt this amazing serenity and calm during the move, leaving my friends and family, while packing, during the flight, etc.  No fear.  God has made me fearless.
