I wonder if anyone feels like this every once in a while. Often times you come
to a point in your life where you need to re-evaluate the status of things. You need to look at things and see if what you are doing is what you really like... or...is what you are doing making you happy?
Jesus mentioned that He came to give us abundant life. Honestly, I can't
think of any other way to live my life than abundantly!! BUT... what does that really mean for me or for you?
Do you really feel alive? Are you enjoying everything that you do?
If not, well...you should....including doing the laundry and cleaning up your kids rooms. WOW!!!! Now that's an incredible idea!
I stumbled across something that has helped me to discover my core values...not
just considering the stuff that is in my head and sounds good, but the true core
values in my heart.
Being alive for me is being happy, frustrated, angry, afraid, scared,
confused, tired...feeling all the feelings that one person can experience. It is actually "feeling" my way through a lifestyle that just keeps experiencing all that God brings to it.
It keeps me expectant of how God works in circumstances beyond my imagination or natural capabilities. I asked the Lord to bring it all to me... the challenges, the changes, new adventures, different experiences and the uncomfortable moments.
Jesus wants me to keep moving, to keep being challenged, to be
frustrated, to be ridiculed at times, to be rejected, to come
across mediocrity, laziness, closed mindsets, to discover, to
succeed, to bless, and to give ... just so that I would keep pushing
myself to a higher level of dependency on Him and really see and feel
what faith is about. So I can really experience what I am made of and what He
is all capable of doing.
Do I believe that God can do anything? Or do I just say that God can do anything? Do I walk the walk or do I just talk the talk? I expect that God will do everything in my life according to my measure of faith and willingness to experience it to its
fullest.
I am not saying that I am done with searching my heart....I keep
praying that His spirit will keep bringing up changes that need to be
made. This is all part of a wondrous process.
The important thing is....that I am willing to go....willing to experience...willing to let go...willing to do whatever.
I can see where God is taking me, what He wants for me, what this abundant life is beginning to look like.
Being in business is not just about work and mone that it generates. It is also about
becoming someone other people want to follow. I am glad I took the time to realize this.
What a wonderful counselor He is! He's searching every area of my
life and bringing light into my darkness.
He is my marvelous Redeemer! My wonderfully amazing Savior who has an
amazing love for me!
Have an abundant day today and be blessed!!!!!
Gisele and Carole
