i am the type of person who takes what i do very seriously... last night was a good night... emphasis on the word good... that doesn't mean that it was bad, just good. so if i am not careful i take a lot on myself... i wish that some things would have gone a little better last night; again not to say that they went bad, i am just a perfectionist in a lot of things. where last week i left "floating" in a sense, last night i had a heavy heart just reflecting on the night.
with that said, i went to bed with the heaviness and therefore woke up with the heaviness. immediately... i tried to go to what we learned last night and wrestle this morning with what it meant to die to self...
remember the image there is the opening of the safe, the vault that we have allowed to hold all the "stuff" that we have let define us... particularly the sin that keeps us disconnected and keeps us from intimately knowing and pursuing jesus more authentically...
this morning i was challenged to lose that stuff that i may live... not just exist... live life to full. aren't you tired of a life lived not to the full? some of us may not even know what that looks like.
may you, may we lose the life that we have allowed to define us so that we may live the life that we have been called to define us.
because at the end of the day... its either death or death!
