Captivating is an awesome book. I loved it!

in Captivating, Staci Eldridge writes about how we so easily create fictional worlds to feed our souls.. = long distance relationships.

preach in girrrl!

i heart this background! totally chic!

We need the fictional world.  It is the place where we dream, we imagine, we dare.  It is food for the soul because it gives us hope, another world, a place without constraints.  These worlds we create give our lives purpose and meaning.  I imagine that MLK Jr. created an imaginary world in his speech, "I have a Dream!", only with the desire to see it come about, to be a reality.  I see the Kingdom in similar fashion.  It is a fictional idea that so permeates our very soul that we actually embody what it means to be "kingdom-people".  We take it from the imagination, and place it into our hands.  We live it out, embody it, and carry it to our communities and beyond that we actually usher it in from the dream to the present.  From the once to the now.
