Micah 6:8 - Part 1 of 4

There is so much going on in my head right now that I don’t know how to explain it all. The thing is its simple really. Micah 6:8 says, “And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God”. WOW. That’s a big piece to the puzzle. Like a huge one.
Act justly.
Love mercy.
And walk humbly.
Friends I think we’ve been over thinking it really. I think as Christians we are often more concerned to stand up for the things we are against rather than the things we are for. I don’t want to leave nothing back. In the next couple of posts I’ll be looking at what those three points mean to me personally.
I’m not known for anything. I give up on 95% of the things I start. And I’m flawed beyond belief. But in my brokenness I encounter the healer and he cares for me. Maybe we are over thinking about it. And I need to start living in the moment. Seriously.
I do believe if we followed what Micah 6:8 says then we would live more fulfilling, peaceful lives. Not peaceful as in quiet though! Being at peace. Peace that comes from a heart sealed for a king and knowing him personally.
ACT.LOVE.WALK.
And as the pieces come together I stand amazed.
Happy almost President’s day!

birthdayyyy.

So it’s crazy that I graduate college when I’m 22 and today I turned 21. God is so good for blessing me with these amazing years. Life is so precious. Time is so sacred. And no, I didn’t get married today like my mom did on her twenty first birthday! It’s such an awesome day to talk with all the people you care about and just to be inspired about living it up in abundance. It was such a special day. Thank you everyone for making it so special. I love that the Lord has put each one of you in my life. Today was perfect. Im looking forward to year 22. It’s going to be the good one. The end of a chapter. Thank you Jesus for all my days.
our time on Earth is less than a blink compared to our time in eternity!

gypsy soul and airports

Earlier in the day I was listening to the radio and Zach Brown band was playing a song called “Colder Weather”. My favorite part of the song is the lyrics “You’ve got a gypsy soul to blame and you were born for leaving, born for leaving.” Gypsy soul is what got me. Wow. I thought immediately I have that! My gypsy soul looks different. It’s this little part within me that will never be satisfied with where I am because I’m not made for this world. And until I take my last breath I will have this gypsy soul. This soul that longs for eternity. This soul that longs to physically be with my Jesus. But when you set your sight on eternity friends, everything changes. I quite honestly didn’t look at it that way before this summer. But something in me changed. The adventure part of Mary met up with the long term vision part of Mary and they just clicked. The relentless pursuit with a purpose clicked. What’s your purpose? What’s your mission statement? What do you believe in? What drives you to succeed? What hinders your success? These questions I’ve been asking myself. And this “gypsy soul” is seeing what it looks like clearer to set my sights on eternity. As you yearn for being with the King what can I do here on Earth to show people the hope you’ve found Jesus? That’s what I’ve been thinking. Its like this... I got my ticket (salvation) through Jesus Christ and now I’m waiting in the airport (this life) until I catch my plane for the next life. (eternity). So on this groundhogs day I leave you with this essential question … What will you do while you’re in the airport?
Love you all,
