It’s not by accident. I am here for a purpose. To learn and serve is the obvious answer. I say YES to that AND… There is more to this eternal life than I could ever imagine. I want the more. I want the real thing – full communion with God. I want to walk in a constant awareness of The Lord’s presence.
For me, it’s about:
-
Letting go of the numbing distractions I have collected in my life
-
Confidently walking in who the Father says I am
-
Defining what “healthy” looks like for me physically, spiritually, and emotionally
-
Creating sustainable rhythms for carrying a kingdom mindset in my life/marriage/friendships/career
-
Learning to live out a culture of generosity in community
-
Eagerly encouraging and celebrating other people’s gifts
-
Living in a worship atmosphere
This list is selfish. I think it should be. I refuse to let these 11 months go by without soaking up all I can. If I am going to learn from, love, and serve people to the fullest – it’s going to be found in the overflow of sitting as close as I can to Jesus, and from learning who He has specifically made me to be and confidently walking in that identity.
It’s Day 3 in Chile. My word for this year is “Journey”. I have a key with that word carved into it. There are already so many stories to share!
More updates to come…
Live in His Love,
RJ
