toast fire

Hello, all. What a beautiful Friday.

A few days ago, I was making some toast in the toaster oven (which has been broken for a long time). It had been in there for less than a minute when it decides to burst into flames. Yay for being home alone.

Today, for the first time in my life, I felt a perfect and (ironically) overwhelming peace. An unworldly peace. I think I can safely attribute that to prayer and reading the Gospels. Now that I've surrendered, I am ready to walk wherever I may be called, because I know that it will be for a greater glory. Whatever happens, happens. I trust that discernment in where I should go as far as career and major will come in due time. I trust that the best as far as a relationship goes will happen, whether that it is to have one or not. I don't know, but I trust.

I'm ready, now. Ready for my heart to be set on fire for Christ. I don't want to be apathetic to my surroundings or faith life anymore. For so long, I've simply existed. Any desire I had was for myself. I want to leave the shyness behind, yet keep a quiet spirit that burns out loud. I'm ready to use all that I've been given to show people a greater glory and to help them and give them hope, to the best of my ability. I want to live for others.

I don't want a cute little candle flame or even a toaster oven flame (although it did make me panic for a second).



I want a wildfire.
