A Month Away

         Today is July 22nd. 

Today is one month before we embark on what I hope to be a beautiful journey of learning more about the Lord and ourselves. Something I have come to learn about this process is to flexible. 

Nothing you plan tends to come out just the way you thought they would. I think it's 

almost better that way. Our thoughts and plans are only within the limits of boundary-lined life. Why desire what only your limited mind sees when you can give it over to the Lord of All? The one who created and knows all things. He has no limits and no end to imagining things that are good.  

And something so exciting about that is He is madly in Love with... YOU! 

He loves you and promises to never stop. 

A promise that rules over all other limits in the world. 

Why not desire His plans over your own?

Why do we still strive to feel in control and have a desire for it? 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

There is so much truth to this picture above. 

God does not desire us to sit comfortable in our lives feeding off of the worldly treasures

 and securities that we have built for ourselves.

 He desires us to live a life that is only comfortable in the presence of Him.

Phil read me this quote yesterday: 

“Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.”
- Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

Do the things that you focus on the most really matter at all? What purpose do they serve in the Kingdom?
