walking.

i love people.

like really really love people.

it's what makes life worth living.

besides Jesus.

i love their dreams; their hurts, their joys and celebrations, 

their hopes, their burdens, their issues and problems.

i love their voices, their laughs, their cries, their pet peeves, 

their likes, their dislikes, their unique traits and quirks.

the best part is sharing.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.

- Romans 12:14-16 

getting to know a person and all that comes with them; how they think and see, what they aspire to be and what they long for; it's all like tiny precious pieces of treasure. and the more we talk to them, the more we grow in relationship with them, we begin to build a whole collection of timeless and worthy gems.

people are on all sorts of walks in life.

and when they let you in, having shared something held so so close to their heart, 

like their boy/girl problems, 

their family troubles and 

their secret desire to be able to dance like MJ, 

you begin to walk alongside them.

you begin to walk in the shoes of one of God's children.

i'd like to be like that; able to just let my walls down; able to be an open book. 

i'd like to have people walk in my shoes and see life through my eyes and 

i'd like to do the same.

God, let me see through Your eyes, through Heaven's eyes.

so come, take a walk with me.

because life is way too short to walk alone.
