like a babe

I have hit this “place” in life where I want to learn. So there are some things I am trying to learn, not just to “know” but actually learn and apply. Jesus began to “do and teach”… you cannot teach that which you do not know/ understand. 

One thing that I have a heavy desire to see is unity. Not just, we all get along, lets go grab coffee and have superficial conversations about the stuff… but actually benefit from the relationships of one another. I mean what if everyday the Lord gives us people to rub off on, or to even have them rub off something on us? What if every single person in your clan of people is there for the purpose of unveiling your ways of thinking?!(the veils distort our image of Him) I do not know much about running a church,( possibly not anymore than new york fashion), or being exactly who I was created to be… but one thing I do know is that we are here, right now, together, for a purpose. And it is not about being right, its not about our ways or theology. The big picture is the battle. And we are in the same division, the same army, at the same time.

How can we get there? Why aren’t we there?

Oh and Love. I have this feeling, I wont ever fully grasp the depth to that four letter word. But perfect love cast out fear. So if there is an area of life I am fearful, that means I have not let His Love invade. I consider worry a realm of fear. Therefore when I worry (notice, when.) I have yet to let true Love captivate that area.

 “Love will never manipulate or try and control out of insecurity because perfect love casts out all fear. The very place where relationships can be the most corrupted is also where they can be the most fulfilling, after redemption has worked in them. Giving provides the greatest fulfillment in relationship that we can ever know. The most wonderful human relationships are but fleeting glimpses of the ecstasy that comes when we give ourselves to the Lord in pure worship.” – The Final Quest. 

Every bad thing and wound that happens to us can turn into the authority to do good. After trials come victory in Jesus, then we can release the compassion we received over others lives. 

I would love to be more thankful. 

I would love to read a book start to finish and apply lessons to my life

I would love to really pay attention in class for the whole time I am there

I would love to learn how to decrease my “footprint” (go green..er)

I would love to be able to have anyone from any nook of humanity be able to speak into my life and take it to heart.

I would like to learn another language, or two? 

I’d like to be a ranch hand in a place i’ve never heard of

thats it for now.
