" I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.

Knowing is not enough, we must apply.

Being willing is not enough, we must do. "

Leonardo do Vinci

i've started to realize how many things i pretend to believe, how many things i pretend to value, and how few thing i follow through with.  how seldom my motives/thoughts/actions
reflect said beliefs,
reflect said values. 

i want to be a person of integrity,

a person of consistency.

i desire for my word, my promises,

to not return void, but fruit.

i want to be the person you can count on,

the one who always pulls through.

i desire to be a blessing, in all the relationships i'm involved in.

with God, with Chris, Lolly, Kelsey, Dad, Tayler, and with JT

i want the way i walk, talk, listen, work, study, sleep, drive,

i want those ways to be different, to not go unnoticed,

but to be a challenge on it's own.

" I do the very best I know how,
the very best I can,
and I mean to keep on doing so,
until the very end "
Abraham Lincoln

i want 

to challenge people with my walk,

to engage friends with my words,

to live in an abstract structure,

in relation to this world,

these people,

those hearts,

this pain,

all.

a goal worth pursuing,

a lifestyle worth following,

a Christ-follower in action,

a beautiful depiction.

a disciple, a learner, a teacher, a do-er.

big things to be said.

i want,
je veux,

but i want,
"i want" & "i desire"

to become 
i will
to stand through the ages

actions speak louder
than words
than beliefs
than conversations
than values
than gestures
than letters
than gifts
than touch

" Do or do not, there is no try. "
Master Yoda
