Along walks this girl, moseying around, stopping to pick flowers, etc etc. Everything is SO green, and beautiful, and there is a complete absence of any sort of insect or bug.
Cliff appears.
Think like Emperors New Groove VALLEY with rickety old bridge running across.
Girl continues walking....passer-bys telling her "don't go! no!" but she goes anyway.
Snaps.
Saw this one coming.
But DID you see Johnny Depp swing by in a giant cage made out of reeds?? Yeah- story takes a turn and it now resembles something like Pirates of the Caribbean when they are being chased by cannibals.
She finds herself hanging on to this old rickety bridge like it's her LIFE line. Johnny Depp swings by again,
"hey you are so dumb! Let go of the bridge! I promise just let it go."
So she does.
But instead of falling through the air-- she is still suspended.
Because she is harnessed in with 12 more ropes and pulleys.
So she begins to repel.
Belay on. (editors note <--BELAY!? what.is.that.word.)
She's sittin pretty enjoying herself when she looks up, crazy aboriginal people sawing at her ropes on the errand of Johnny Depp.
SNIP.
WHAT THE! You kiddin me?? STOP. JOHNNY D! I thought we were friends!?!?
One by one they are cut away, until finally, the final thread.
As she is falling she is thinking "ok this is seriously so.dumb. like I was freakin BELAYING DOWN THIS MOUNTAIN DID YOU SEE HOW COOL I LOOKED???? YOU MUST HATE AMERICA---"
.............until she gently falls into a glistening mound of frog eye salad and she's like, "omg can this even be real. Yes, yes it is," while she falls back hugging a giant marshmallow in total bliss.
Sometimes, the Lord asks us to do things with our WHOLE heart, WHOLE might, and ALL of our strength.
Sometimes He asks people named Melissa to go WAY outside of their comfort zone, exerting all her might, mind, and strength, and just SHOW UP at Church, knowing ZERO people, but just WINGIN' it! Because he asks her to investigate the truth with ALL of her soul, not just half. So she does it, and its amazing.
Sometimes He asks missionaries to go look for an apartment RIGHT when all of the students of KU come back in to town, and expect it get done quickly. And they're like WAIT there are so many other things we could be doing, let us only put half of our effort in and end up wandering in circles for 3 hours with no luck.
--Let the aboriginals CUT YO DANG ROPE and the Spirit will trip you the next day as you stumble upon an apartment complex right by the church where a leasing agent named Chrystal with an "h" will tell you she and her boyfriend have been searching for a Church and your name tag looks "cute" not weird because she loves Jesus Christ!!!! #comingtochurch
Sometimes, He asks people named Randy to LET GO of the fear and the excuses and shove the word "belay" down somebody's throat because it's such a confusing and meaningless rock climbing word ANYWAY (Kendel, dont hate) and to just stop repelling and cut the dang rope and BE BAPTIZED BY SOMEONE HOLDING THE PRIESTHOOD AUTHORITY OF GOD!
But I mean, it was just a dream. So whatever.
So my week this week was great..........
:)
LOVE YOU ALL!
Love,
Sister Murray
