limitless.

passion.


it's more than a rush, more than hype. it's not just an emotion.
it's consuming.
it's beautiful. 
it's revitalising. 
it's life-changing.


after Passionate this weekend, it's hard to have not left the conference more passionate about God, about school, about the young kids that so desperately hunger for Him but are starved, about injustice, about NZ, about the world.


life's too short to serve a God with limits.
He's a limitless God, so treat Him like One;


BELIEVE
TRUST
SURRENDER



















wow, to have child-like faith is like my number one dream.
why not? 
why not ask God to
heal, save, rescue, 
infiltrate, destroy, rebuild?
to take away, to give,
to feed, to clothe,
to warm, to comfort?


He can.
I can't.
I need Him; 
a vulnerable, weak and dependent child
in need 
of an abundant, providing, loving Father.


flip, i hate trying to do it all myself.


goal:
DREAM
TAKE A RISK,
A LEAP OF FAITH
DON'T BE AFRAID OF FALLING
EMBRACE CHALLENGE AND FAILURES

sailing.



we're adrift on a sailboat
my love is the sea
yours is the horizon;
constant and steady

you set my land-locked heart afloat
lifted my lonesome sail

the tide is out
the moon is high
we're sailing


i'd like to go sailing. 
would like to be carried away by the wind.
like to ride the waves.
to cast an anchor.
to catch a fish.
to climb the rigging.
to break the water's surface.
to wake up to a never-ending expanse of blue.
i'd like to have a hook as a hand.
to wear nautical colours all the time.
to have an eye patch.
to have salt-drenched hair. 
to be spontaneous and set off.
and to approach a new land.

lucky life as a pirate.
