What is My Life?

April 1, 2014


When I wake in the morning my automatic default is this sentiment: "Father what is your will for me today? What would you have me do?" Resting in the ordinary of everyday is an adventure when we choose to view it through the eyes of Jesus. Every interaction becomes a gift, each struggle a promise of something more. 


The past month has been one of choosing contentment rather than complacency. Walking in the freedom God has granted me by continuing to dream with the rising of the sun, for what potential the present holds. Doesn't mean, I don't experience feeling like I am flailing on the inside. In those moments, I am most thankful for the Word of God. That I can anchor myself on Truth. On Jesus. Because of Him, I hope.


There is this line written on my heart, "Go, live a story worth telling." So, what am I penning with my life? This month, I turn 26 and I think...


most days i wonder what I am doing with my day

the openess
how i will fill it
how i can be pleasing to the Father
which is a lot more simpler than we all make it
God loves when his people love people
when they love themselves
and walk in who they are 
no matter where they are
not putting hindrances on how He wants to bring His kingdom
and when they will love Him
when i am not building relationships 
i must be throwing myself into His Word
because God is always preparing us 
and the next thing is going to be my best
but i must refuse to miss out on right now.

... I look around at my present circumstances, and I have hope for what is ahead of me still.
