casino.

Two of my friends and I went to a casino the other day. I spent 5 dollars. I figured I was not going to lose any more than that. But I found myself enriched by my company. I was there with a dear friend, a brother, and confidant.

We talked about God and the things I was learning as we walked through the crowds of people, drinking and smoking cigarettes on the gaming floor. I am so excited for the mandatory coffee dates we’re going to have. To learn, share, and enjoy what is this thing called loving friendship.

are.

You are.

You exist. You are here. You live on this planet. You are.

You may be a teacher, a mom, a dad. a doctor, or you could be the president or CEO of some company. But the truth of the matter is that you exist in the moment exactly as you are. That includes all of you. Your habbits, desires, and imperfections. You are here. Where are you going?

I am simply a child. A young woman walking through life. I forget sometimes that I need to go to God as I am. To go home, with all of me. I am. You are. We need to go home running to God as we are, with all of us.

It’s hard. But it’s where I’m going. It’s where you need to go. We all need to go home as we are. Just like we go to school, work, and the store- as we are. With all of our goals, habbits, and imperfections.

Go. As you are.
