Under the shadow of your wings.
I'm reading Shane Claiborne's book 'The Irresistible Revolution', and its really making some sense - especially when he talks about his future plans. He stresses that people always want to define you by what you do, and he would always start by saying
"Im not too concerned with what i am going to do. I am more interested in who i am becoming. i want to be a lover of God and people"
He goes on to say that what we do is not nearly as important as who we are.
Being hear, i feel like my characters being shaped, i feel like the person i was, when i was 16, but with more strength and wisdom. I met two Cornish girls the other day in a restaurant, i went and sat with them, and we got chatting. And the concept of me being hear, and living with a family i didn't know, came as a surprise to them, they saw it as 'different', where as i see it as a necessity, to some degree i felt forced to come hear, not by anyone other than God. And i figured yesterday (whilst laying by a 5* Hotel's pool, over looking the Indian Ocean) that God must be a good God, and love me infinitely in order to force me to come to this Paradise. Don't get me wrong there have been challenges, but there not challenges in his eyes.
