The Little Things: What I’m Learning In Christ

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately.

Usually when that happens, I disappear into nature and whip the journal out.
I have nerd-like tendancies, and I think secretly, I want to be Native American.

I’m learning a lot about my relationship with Christ and a lot about myself.
Like… how selfish & “me orriented” I am…and how self-LESS Christ is.

I’ve discovered the beauty of walking intimately with Christ.
And how peaceful his ways are, and how fine tuned his voice can be.

I’m learning that God is a Filler, not a Forcer.
Which means we as Christans have to make space for him to fill in our lives and in our hearts.  We are as close to Christ as we care to be…. It all depends on how much space we clear for him to fill.

I’m discovering what the meaning of sacrifice is in my relationships.
Not always getting what you want isn’t a bad thing, you know.

I’m starting to realize that my body really IS a temple where the Holy Spirit lives, and I must treat it that way.
Visiting the gym has turned into living there.  Eating better and throwing away that dress that’s “a little to short” have also happened recently.

I have realized that I have a well of Holy Confidence that I can tap into at any time.
and that the movie “We Bought A Zoo” had something regarding “twenty seconds of insane courage”…

It’s been made known to me that trusting and worrying cannot go hand in hand.
You either ARE a walrus, or you’re not.  Theres no inbetween.

and finally…

I’ve discovered the excitement of free falling.
But you’ll hear more about that next time.
