Belonging

The world says you are what you do. But the word says you are whose you are.

I love those words that I read by Ann Voskamp this week.

Sit up, stand up, look up, and see that you are wonderfully created.

You are not the words that other people say about you. 

You are fearfully and wonderfully made, created by a God who cares about every detail of your life. You were meant to run towards the things that give you life with reckless abandon. To stay the path of unwavering trust and commitment. To build new roads for others to walk on. 

Your job is belief and love. Belief in God and to love others.

Failure

Allow room for failure and let second chances become your good friend.

You can't get from where you are to where you want to go without significant failures along the way. Of all the sacred currencies in your life - influence, trust, expectancy, belief, friendship, love, the list goes on and on, I believe that failure is one of the most misunderstood. Sure, belief and influence are easy to bank on when you know where you're going and can see that you need those resources. But the world tells you that you have to do it well and do it polished and do it right the first time and every time afterwords. The world doesn't accept failure as a vehicle. 

Do you believe that?

Temporary

You can be in a situation but your situation doesn't need to be in you. 

If you figured it all out today, what would be the point of tomorrow? Enjoy the process of being a work in progress.

"The present is raw, real, alive, had scary, commanding my attention. I see how you have been with me, but only in the present can I actually be with you." -William P. Young

Kingdom

The size of your dreams should reflect the size of your God. 

Everything that has a feel good period will wear off, and what is at it's core? 

True and raw dreams are formed in the womb of heaven, birthed on earth and walked out by the dreamers and doers, the thinkers and the connectors of God's Kingdom here on earth.
