i dont think i am waiting for anything in particular
ReplyDeletei'm waiting for direction, leaving my position as a traditional lutheran pastor to venture into new places for further schooling perhaps, further flagstaff abbey pursuits...i'm waiting for direction.
ReplyDeletemy dreams are to delve further into mysteries of faith and life, learning to better integrate theory and practice, to find joy and peace again in a marriage and with my kids.
learn to be more present, learn to let go of things that don't matter but that i think do. to lean into the future as well as lean into life with my wife.
What am I waiting for?
ReplyDeleteMan I could answer this so many ways, but the first thing that comes to mind is I'm waiting for the world to wake up.
My dreams for 2009 is to see a change in the Church, to make this happen I need more honest channels of communication.
These are just the first wee things that come to mind and I'm not sure if they're the type of answer that you had in mind...hmm...
Miriam says, "Christmas!" and she's dreaming that the U.S. won't send more troops to Afghanistan, after all.
ReplyDeleteKurt would like to dream again.
Lori dreams of being settled in unsettledness.
Pierce prefers to skip the first two and move straight to action. (who needs "ready" and "aim" when you have "fire"?!)
What are the waiting for?
ReplyDeleteWhat are your dreams for 2009?
What do you need to make this happen?
I think I am waiting to grow older, to be more happy in my own skin and body. I think that this is a process that takes time, but the sort of active waiting. Not just sitting around waiting to get old, rather seeking out who I am in the world, who I am in my family, who I am in relation to my love. I am waiting, not uncomfortably to mature like a good cheese.
i'm not sure anymore.
ReplyDeletefor something to come up so that I can know what after graduating this year.
an idea/person/event to catch my attention / someone to welcome me into what they're doing.
Oh and another thing: to make this happen I need to do something about it, but I am waiting for direction..
ReplyDeletewaiting to be comforted by love. Waiting to be more comfortable with love. Waiting..
ReplyDeletedreaming of walking the margins of Belfast. making a new map..
i need a strong pair of boots for the walk, and space to stop and rest.
I'm dreaming of finding a place where I can be salt and light for the people without light in my new hometown.
ReplyDeletewaiting for meaning - still learning what it is that motivates me and I think at its core I want my life to mean something and have a purpose.
ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I would like to learn to listen a bit better and to be more aware of how other people feel.
Maybe I need more feedback to make that happen?
i am waiting for all churches in the U.S to be either destroyed or turned into cultural homes or museums for religious horrors.
ReplyDeleteWhat are your dreams for 2009?
ReplyDeleteAh, another way to phrase the question- in one year from now, what will I be thankful for? Well, let me see.....I will be delighted with the attempts at making the piece of land outside my window into a thriving beautiful (hopefully productive) garden.
I also hope to achieve a work life balance that involves lots of hours dancing, sleeping, reading books I want to read, soaking up rays of vitamin E, eating simple and delicious food, meeting more people who live in my neighbourhood, knitting, a trip to the Levant, several trips to Portugal, writing at least one article, praying with friends and strangers, extended periods of silence, swimming in the sea multiple times, getting a time bank up and running.....to mention a few things. I dream to grow in relation to myself, my surroundings and a greater appreciation of the vast complexity of the Bigness
What do you need to make this happen?
ReplyDeleteI need to take more time to listen, to say no and to say yes. Yes to love and being loved, yes to rest and physical work, and no to the negativity I have towards myself. All things are possible I read once.
I have a dream of fire and angels being visible in a worship setting - waiting to to be able to recognise it when it happens. Don't know what I need to make this happen, do not think I can make it happen - so just keep doing...
ReplyDeleteJim
what am i waiting for? that's a good one... what are my dreams? many and impossible all at once. what do i need? probably just to relax and pick one or two, i think.
