departure

We are the departed. 

we are the ones leaving,

the ones wasting our days at the airport.

we are the ones heading off into the unknown.

the new,

the open,

the blank canvas,

with a full array of paint.

The ones writing the stories of our lives on the pages of history.

for one reason,

for one purpose.

there is one driving force in the heart of us.

motivated

strengthened

to walk past the mountain and reach what is on the other side.

to go beyond the call.

beyond what is demanded.

to offer all, complete surrender.

for what reason,

for what purpose?

For GOD, Our LORD.

26"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple.

basically, i'm leaving monday.

love you all, see ya later
