reflect.

The sun is setting over the snow covered midwest picturesque view.
Candles are lit, flowers in a deep blue vase, I'm sipping wine.

Deep reflection and processing and internal review are taking place.
Big moments in life, hard work, sanctification, blessings, struggle.

Last year I would have never expected to be where I am sitting now.
Desiring simplicity, wanting to be a maker, missing the mountains.

Culture says to aim for wealth and comfort and fame and pride.
I want less of myself, more of the Lord, time to create, time to hide.

What if we all stopped running this western race view of dreams.
Move back to community, back to family dinners, back to humility.

I know what I want in this life.
Not riches or things or collections.
I want Jesus Christ magnified.
