When Life Becomes Extraordinary
Isn’t it amazing when you realize
All your life, your ability to change
To accomplish great things
To find a better life
Has been determined by the tiny space between your ears
The secret hidden within
A paradox exists within our minds
They are either the biggest or smallest places on earth
Open to a vastness beyond comprehension
Or closed to anything beyond the tiniest of understandings
But, how, what, when does the paradox flip?
Do we choose it or does it choose us?
It happens in an instant
Flashing, pulsing inside of that paradox laden chasm
A new reality strikes us
Life is extraordinary
Possibilities are limitless
Barriers lay strewn before us
Fallen like branches from long dry trees after the winds of change have blown
And in that instant, at that moment we get it
God is real
God loves us
God sought us out
We know so little
We are capable of nothing particular
We are small
And our routine and ordinary life becomes extraordinary
Nothing is normal, nothing is routine about a life God has touched
Blessings pour out, seeping from every seemingly mundane breath
Days become blank pallets waiting for a Master’s brush stroke
And the only thing that has really changed is that tiny space between our ears
Reality stays the same, God doesn’t change
We do

It’s extraordinary when you fly to the other side of the world and find a friend. I did! A girl too. Amazing. Some prayers are answered very quickly. Praise our Everlasting!
