Here’s the deal folks, I have been challenging myself to write more creatively and to be bold in sharing it. below is some free paragraph poetry/spoken word type deal that I wrote last month. My prayer and hope is for you all to see Jesus through it all and be inspired/encouraged to step out in your creativity to! 🙂 enjoy friends, there will be more to come.
This isn’t about me and my team.
It’s not about me and the squad.
It’s not about me and my loved ones near and far.
This isn’t about me at all.
This is about YOU.
This race is not to be run for 11 months. This race is the rest of my life.
#worldracelife is no longer a thing.
After 11 months has passed, this way of life, this walk with you, this exploration with you does not come to a screeching end.
You don’t stop running, walking, or strolling with me when I cross that boarder.
No.
That would be missing the entire point.
You continue to make me uncomfortable.
You continue to push me into the deep.
You continue to take me on retreats.
You continue to draw me into You and You continue to talk with me daily.
I am a pilgrim on a journey with You – surprising me around every corner.
I am broadening my outlook of You.
Going from a narrowed lense to a fish bowl view.
Desperately seeking to reach the depth; right there, next to your feet.
I won’t stop, Jesus. I refuse to stop the exploration of seeking Your face and Your sweetness.
I am gripping for your steadfast love and royalty.
You took the chains off of me and set me free.
So free and wildly in love is what I will be.
Jesus you are the only one I need.
I’m tired of chasing the things around me.
I’m tired of trying to conform, to fit the mold of those surrounding me.
NO. I will shout for Your glory down by the trickling streams, up to the highest peak.
This is where You give me strength to step boldly Into who I am meant to be.
I am to reach for the gifts that you have for me.
I am to stand up for what I believe in You to be true.
You cannot be casted out into one thing, for you are too vast, beyond the brains capacity.
You did not create me to live comfortably in the form of classic Christianity.
You designed me to come explore with You, IN You, through You.
To stand up for You. To be bold for You.
You are a God of great gifts.
You desire to give me the things that I claim as a need.
I want to be aligned with You in Your divinity.
Let me be built up in You.
Let me be made one with You.
I am thirsty to taste the richness of Your unfathomable mysteries.
I will cry out and beg for more of Your intimacy.
Jesus, the second I get a taste, I’m hungry for more – to gorge myself on the food that comes from You.
Earnestly I seek You, my love.
Your Holy Spirit has implanted an infectious disease that I am honored to carry.
For my heart is split open, wanting nothing more than for You to come invade me.
This heart was made a home for You to never stop coming into.
Jesus I am speechless at how desperate I am to know You more intimately, to truly know Your heart more.
I long to be taken to a new depth everyday.
Yet I sit in awe struck wonder that You have been communing with me; waiting for me to let go of what I expected You to do.
You do not want to be confined nor will You agree to be.
I can see that I had to let go of my hidden self righteousness and shame – I had locked myself behind my own gate.
That is not what You mapped out in my fate.
For I know You gave me faith that comes fairly easy.
Now is the time to change the method in how we explore.
So here I am Jesus. Do with me what you please.
I am a slave that runs free.
I will do anything and everything with You and for You.
I am dedicated to worshiping You from the deepest parts of my usoul; from my head to my toes
My whole being, my whole life, I give to You.
Break through, coloring freely, boldly and passionately.
I’m ready for something new.
I’m ready for a life time of unexpected exploring with You and inside of You.
Come, and show me more of You.
I will stay true to You, living boldly through You!
I love You!
