New discovery

I have found another life goal.  I think I want to be a person with deep and meaningful convictions but with the ability to continually laugh at myself and not take myself too seriously.

So here I am balancing those two things.  This has been sparked my yes again another thing I read or listen to.  the link is below.

This podcast is funny and recommend it to anyone who appreciates what Phil Vischer has done (Veggie Tales, Jelly Telly).

What I appreciate about Phil Vischer is that he is creative and authentically able to communicate gospel truth with wacky and cooky fun that kids like but I like too.  Yet here in this podcast and others I've heard he has convictions and underneath all the fun he has the driving force is love of God.

As a young adult i find myself having many conversations in my head about the type of person I am becoming.  I long to be someone who's driving force is the love of God and isn't driven by fears that anything can shake or remove that. Fear is something that fuels dogma, builds walls, creates "us" and "them" stereotypes.  Fear in my experience has even made me lose that very thing I was afraid of losing.

So I am sick and tired of being afraid.  The plan? Not quite sure but so far is taking once again to finding my way back towards trust.
