I've just submitted an article to The Burnside Writer's Collective- a semi monthly online publication directed by Donald Miller (dude-man who wrote Blue Like Jazz).  I've never done anything like that before.  I know it's nothing majorly huge, but I feel like it's, at the very least, some kind of movement in the direction I so desperatley want to go. Like the first tiny pebble being moved from a gigantic wall of disbelief in my head and in my heart. And even if they choose not to use it, it has already been a huge success for me, simply because I DID IT.  I can dream and dream all I want, but it's not often that dreams just fall right in to our laps, is it?  They require action and faith.  I am open to wherever God wants to lead me and wherever He plans to take us in this life.  But I am becoming more and more convinced that these desires and passions He's placed in our hearts are there for a reason.  The question is:  What will we do with them?  And when?
