making myself [un]comfortable

"disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly, to venture on wider seas where storms will show your mastery; where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars. we ask You to push back the horizons of our hopes; and to push into the future in strength, courage, hope, and love." -francis drake.

i think we don't fully understand the severity of things, until they've come to pass.

i didn't realize how much i admired my grandfather until he died.

and i didn't believe how much fifteen hundred miles apart could change a relationship, until the miles were put between us.

i hate that there have been times that i've forgotten God was there, until i needed him to be.

and i think that's why drake's prayer is my prayer.

i don't want to miss out on things now, because of petty things.

so - if it takes disturbing to get me to notice, then, disturb on.

"disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly, to venture on wider seas where storms will show your mastery..."

get me uncomfortable, as i'm awakened to Your mastery.
