life is real

Have you ever had a moment where you felt the world was revolving while you stood still...and tried to comprehend what was happening?  I'm not talking about the fishbowl thing I mentioned before.  I'm talking about that, grab the wall-you aren't quite sure if you'll faint-but it's possible-so just keep breathing kind of feeling.

I've had a (small) handful of those moments in the last year as God has so drastically changed my life. And in one week, I have had two of those experiences and both of them made me feel as if God was saying, "Wake up.  Pay attention.  Things are happening.  Life is real and it's changing."  I don't know why He wants me to hear that, but it's what I feel, down to my core.  Here's the kicker:  These two experiences aren't even my own.  They are life changes happening to two of my closest friends...but because of my love for those friends, these life altering experiences of theirs, become my own.  

I've had a friend call about changing jobs and a friend email about devastating family news.  Both have me wide eyed and waiting for God to do something huge in their lives.  Something positive and....in some way, somehow change me for being connected to all of it.  So I'm just waiting.  Waiting to see why I'm connected to these things, where they go, and what happens along the way.  I'm being reminded to keep an eye out....for what, I don't know.  But, it's one of those gut feelings that you just have to follow.

I realize I'm repeating myself.  I'm waiting and my eyes are open and now....maybe simply by reading...your eyes are open to.

What is happening in your life?
Are there circumstances around you that you need to be paying attention to?
