Feeling Ready.

If you’ve ever run a race you know the feeling as you stand at the starting line waiting for the signal to go. It’s been awhile since I did it in the flesh, but in my mind I’ve been there many times. That delicious feeling of nervous anticipation and building energy ready to explode….it courses through the veins and makes surrounding distractions fade.

That is how I feel today. Poised, ready to take off, ready to surge ahead with speed and agility. In some ways it’s just another Monday. Another day with a headache, another day with lots to do. But those are the distractions that fade in the background.

I realized this weekend that we’ve been in the trenches preparing to really live for a long time. We’ve learned, we’ve laid foundations, we’ve birthed children, set processes into thier places. We stand with foot raised, arms out, fingers in a slight claw, ready to take the next step, whatever we find it to be.

Life is good! Let’s say it again…LIFE IS GOOD!!! We are blessed and God is good and the arugments and debates and discouragments can fade into the background. We can see where we want to go and the “how” can take care of itself. “Bring it on”, we say; we at least promise to give it our very best shot. We’re ready for whatever greatness can be ours, even if it seems to others as worthless or humble or a waste. They are OUR dreams we’re ready to think them into reality.
