Stepping Out.

" 12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires."- Hebrews 4:12

God has been all up in my grill this week. He's been exposing some things that have been both hardening my heart as well as poisoning my relationship with him. And man oh man have his words that I have been reading been extremely convicting. This verse above I love the thought of God entering us in these ways. Physically cutting into us in between our working parts and stripping, trimming stuff in our lives so that we may function better. So that we are less distracted of such things and so that we can better focus on relationship with God which is the most important relationship. So that we may humble ourselves and repent. I am human and this is a constant struggle. 

Ugh. God loves me so much! Sometimes I really can't understand let alone handle this truth. But he does and he will continue to pour grace over me which exemplifies what I should continually do with others.He will never stop pursuing me. Not even if I asked him to. He is Relentless.

I'm not the only one. He loves all of us so HOARD and so deeply DAILY. Even when we don't love ourselves, Gods love is there. It will always be there. 

Stepping out into anything that involves the sacrifice of time or money or both is an invitation to let our faith flood in and trust that whatever we are doing, if it is for the glory of  God, he will bless it 300 fold. 

Think bigger. If we allow the sword to slice and hit us deeply it will not only free us from our bondage and from darkness that we may have stumbled into but...

God is a ripple effect. As long as we are fluid and transparent with him, he will spread himself across every depth of the pools of people with whom we are surrounded by as well as further beyond.

I will try to be as transparent with you as possible:

I leave this weekend for a two week journey that consists of a lot of driving, a lot of speaking and a lot of life on life happening. I'm a little nervous but mostly, I'm so excited to talk to people about what I am doing out here in Laradise working for Solid Rock Outdoor Ministries full time. 

I can't wait to drink some Chai with you and hear you!

Here's my route:

 

West coast I hope you're ready...
