Getting Excited

There is something about Advent and then Lent that just keeps our family on mission.

LAST NIGHT a friend of mine was talking about her dream. Lions had surrounded her house and they would get upset and she would say

"that is okay we just need to only worship God"

and then the Lions would calm down.

She had been studying a passage in 2 Kings that talks about when God sent Lions to a group of people and through that they began learning about him.

Are there Lions in my life.....because I. NEED. THEM.

For the past couple of years I have been holding on to dreams, holding on to next steps and knowing that change would come soon. But here I am in the place that I have been and was and this is what God has taught me. It isn't about my dreams, it is about Him. If I wait for my ministry then it happens without me.

If I take every day, every moment and see that as God does I can enter into what He wants to do in my life. All of it will be for my good, but truly some, most, all of it can have nothing to do with me, or my dreams and that is Good and okay. This was the year of HERE (being right where my feet are), but it is so easy and I forget and constantly have to be brought back.

another friend said "Those He calls, He keeps" Blessed Assurance.

My mission is to love Jesus and love others. period. That is all I have to think about and all I have to plan for.

What does that look like in my life?

Touching a friend in prayer, praying for someone outloud with them, texting back honest words not worried about appearances, sending a note of love and call to cling to the cross with me, and go with those Jesus loves out of my comfort zone to a place that professes to be all about faith, but I can't help to be skeptical. And ask for forgivness for all of the times already today that I have quinched His call.

I keep my eyes on the cross, what He has done is IMPORTANT.
