Today someone asked me:
"Why are you here? Is this all worth it? You know life is short. You never know what's going to happen."My only response was to release the endless floodgate of tears. Which makes me wonder, have I gained even an ounce of maturity since flipping into this new chapter of my life? Is one's ability, to not be moved so easily to tears, a reliable litmus test of maturity? The merciless questions of this first world age...What do you want to do with your life? Why do you want to do it? How are you going to get there? Is it irresponsible to leave it unanswered? Can we just live simply, seek joy, and focus on building our character versus striving for accomplishments and decorated accolades? Realizing how easily shaken I still am, I frantically search for foundation...am I not as firmly rooted as I believed and declared? I will not be shaken, no no, I will not be moved, I will not be shaken. I earnestly want this to be fearless truth in my life.
