Whimsical

Life with Jesus is such an adventure!!! But we forget :( We settle for the daily hum drum when our every day walk with Christ can be such an amazing journey. We get scheduled, we get frustrated, we get distracted, we get bored, etc. We become shells of people or corked up bottles of energy and passion. We decide to fit in and make due instead of being real about who we are in Christ. We also choose to be in control and have set times in our date books instead of being available to follow the Lord's leading at a moments notice.

A word that resonates in my heart lately is "whimsical." In life in general and in life with Christ, I want to be whimsical. I want to try things I have never tried before and go places I've never gone. I want to experience life and enjoy each moment. I also want to be whimsical in the sense where I finally know what its like to be so totally sold out for Christ that on a whim, a hunch, a nudge...i will do things in Christ's name that I've never done before and experience Christ's love and power through me in a way I never have before, to reach out to people that I've never reached out to before. I/We sometimes think that such experiences are to be saved for focused times of ministry or missions trips. But NO, every single day opportunities are given to us. Do we listen and go and do or do we ignore and check off the next thing on our to do list??

My mind and heart are certainly in adventure mode more than ever before. I am ready...waiting...wanting more of Him and less of me. Let's do this Jesus!!
