And Go Be It

Right now my desktop background is not a picture of Bosnia, anything in or around the place itself. Right now my desktop background is something that meets me right here, right where I am. For a while every time I would open my computer I would see a lovely picture of something from my days in the good ol' Balkans reminding me of where I want to be, why I want to be there, and the memories that remain.

But last night I changed that photo to one I didn't take myself and with words that I did not write. It is blunt, still reminds me where I should be and what I should do but it resonates. My love for the band who wrote these lyrics is not part of the equation (theyaremyultimatefavorite). So here it is, what I currently open my computer and see every time:

The Avett Brothers say it simple and plain (they sing it even better). This simplistic reminder is a great way to get my brain working; I've decided what to be, so why don't I just go be it? Well of course there is more to this than just being it, but the determination to reach the goal and be it, is most important to me. Many people waver about what they want to be and accomplish in life. This sounds good, but this sounds better, but what is our gift? What would help me or you or the person sitting next to you be it? What is our God-given gift or passion that becomes the catalyst to just being it.

What have you decided to be? How are you intending to be it? Because somehow I believe we never stop becoming who we want to be but the journey is there and in the journey we are being it.

All to God
