if i could do anything: my life-vision {which becomes brave as it gets feet and hands and wings put to it}

if i could do anything.

i’d write poetry and sing to the hearts of broken women.

dancing where my words and the melody of my life touch yours.

opening something that was closed.

touching to heal something that was broken.

freeing what was held captive.

drawing on his life, I long to breathe life.

speaking light in dark places.

painting beauty for ashes.

my uniquely designed life-flesh set to music and nearness.

i penned that vision tonight, thinking these were new things that i was just realizing i desired...
then i looked back at this journal page from a couple weeks ago and saw an echo of almost everything in it...
and THEN... echoes of the prophet isaiah as he foreshadows the deliverer
(jesus claims this as his life-vision-purpose)

the spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
to grant those who mourn in zion --
to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord
that he may be glorified.
isaiah 61:1-3

this is my desire, and #iaccept my desires.
