39 | Life is a Dance and this is my Solo

Late Night Musings

Only if I am willing to give it all in an effort to save you can I claim to walk the path of Jesus… but right now, I am still too inwardly focused to recognize your pain. I am still too worried about receiving the blessings I deserve to sacrifice for you. I am too afraid of the unknown to embrace the after life. I’ve heard it’s beautiful, yet I fear death because I don’t know anyone who can confirm its beauty. The willingness to step into the unknown is where my faith is weakest. I claim Christianity, yet demand that you meet me half way before I sacrifice anything for you. Did the people meet Jesus half way before he took the cross? Were they deserving of his love? Are we worthy enough to call ourselves faithful followers?

In time we will all discover truth, for now we ponder. ~ Sean King

Amazing Happenings

Nov 14

Posted by Sean King

I’ve learned that something amazing happens everyday; you just have to learn to see it. It can be something as simple as a smile, a hug, a conversation with a friend, or even the reality of your dreams manifesting. It can be a kind word to a stranger or being on the receiving end of a timely blessing. Today I experienced all of the above and then this…

I called AT&T to report an issue with my UVerse. The lady on the phone had an accent that I knew was from a place far away from me. In between her going through her script, we exchanged pleasantries and I learned she was from the Philippines. I asked how her family was doing and how she was holding up? She appreciated the concern. I could tell from her response that the tragedy was taking its toll on her, but she was proud and determined to keep pushing forward. We talked about the United States, her desire to pursue her dreams of coming here, her Aunt in California, and the differences in culture. I needed my TV fixed and she needed someone to have an off script conversation with. She was able to resolve the issue and I was able to offer kind words and prayers to someone in an area in need of healing. It was only one person, but it felt meaningful. It never ceases to amaze me, all the creative ways that we are moved around in and out of each other’s lives.

I will continue to pray for my brothers and sisters in the Philippines. Love… ~ Sean King

Naked

I’m determined to learn about the you that sits behind the veil you use to hide everything about yourself that society has deemed different.
–
I want to hear your real story. I want to understand your pain and to help you overcome your doubts.
–
I want to have an open conversation with you where its okay to discuss our fears, our dreams, our happiness, our unique experiences, and our different beliefs.
–
I want to accept you for who you are, and not the public you that you wear like a costume.
–
I want to become less ignorant because you are in my life.
–
I want to be honest with you without either of us feeling the need to sugarcoat our words because we both know there is no ill intent.
–
I want you to feel comfortable sitting with me, unguarded and unafraid.
–
I want to build the kind of friendship with you that’s built for an eternity.
–
I’m determined to learn about the you that sits behind the veil you use to cover everything about yourself that society has deemed different.

Will you undress with me? ~ Sean King
