Crazy Adventure

I used to think I couldn't have a favorite song. I would say "I could no sooner choose my favorite star in the heavens!". Haha a little dramatic right? Well right now I have a favorite song! It's called "Chasing You" , it's on the album "Tides" from Bethel Music. If you have never heard of their music, stop everything and go take a listen!

The reason I love this song so much is because of it's wonderful message of love, adventure that's in God. It's total love song and well I love it. The last part of the song says:

"This life- this love- was always meant to be- a crazy adventure discovering- the thrill- the rush- the more of you I see- the more it leaves me wanting Your everything...I'm chasing you."

I burst in to this part of the song after I prayed for my sick neighbor, I laughed and felt the joy of the the Lord wash over me. And the thought came " If I'm not having fun, a adventure, with God, this Christian thing would really drag!". Life with Christ is meant to be awesome! When was the last time you felt a rush or thrill doing something with God? If you can't think of one, it's time for a change. Doing things with God is like a drug... it makes you feel high! haha God is so much fun. If you feel like life isn't fun ask God to show you His fun side. I think you will find God has a great sense of humor! 

My prayer for you is that you would have such a fun life with God. That you would just be so crazy in love with God everyone knows. Have fun with God, dream with Him! Haha laugh with Him (Ps 2:4)! 

Check out this song Chasing You .Use it as a picture of what your walk with God can be. Let the passion motivate your heart to chase after God like never before. He is chasing you. He loves you so much! 


Whatsoever Think...


Let Your Voice Be Heard, Comment!
How do you have fun with God? How does it make you feel? What is your favorite song right now? How is it affecting your life?

Puppy Kisses

After a long hard day I like to sit on the couch with my little poodle Rosie. I love it when she lays on my chest and sleeps next to my heart. When she was a puppy a lady told me that poodles love to hear their mothers heart beat. It clams them and makes them feel safe. Even now that she is a year old she still lays next to my heart and I love it! 

But you know what Rosie loves? Giving kisses. I am totally convinced that Rosie's "love language" is licking...and lots of it! If you give her the chance, she will lick you until it drives you crazy. 

Last week I called Rosie over to get on the couch with me. We got comfortable and started to rest, but then she just started to lick my face. I'm tired...I just want her to take a little nap with me! I tell her no and she stops. But then she started back up! I looked at her very cute face and said "Can you just sit here with me?".

Then the Lord in His sweetness spoke to my heart. He said I am like you, and you are like Rosie. I love it when we are together. But sometimes would you just sit with me and listen to my heart. The licking represents everything you could possibly bring to Me. I love it when we talk, but when was the last time your intentions where set to listen to my heart beat?

This is a beautiful picture and it rocked me! I know it's so important to get so close to the Father that you can hear his heart on what He says about me and others. Because if we don't then we can't properly love ourselves or people. Because that is the whole point of being a Christian, love. 

I double dog dared my youth group to set a time to just listen to the father's heart in the secret place. To not just hear what's on His heart but to actually hear it. When we decide to just let go and let God do Hos thing it's life changing. The supernatural is so much more real than the realm we live in. God invites us to get close, close enough to hear the beating of His heart. That is a overwhelming thought, but oh so wonderful!

So now when I snuggle on the couch with Rosie it's a reminder to go and Listen to His heart. 

"I want to sit at your feet. Drink from the cup in your hand. 
Lay back against you a breathe... feel your heart beat."

Life Is More Fun Than You Think

I've been hanging around people from Bethel Church lately. And the more I do the more I realize that life is made to be a blast....All the time. Christians are to be the most joyful people.
I think we make life way to serious. We think to be powerful believers we have to be serious. What a lie!
In the movie Monsters Inc. the monsters goal was to collect energy from kids. To get it, they would scare kids. But in the end they discovered that if they got the kids to laugh instead, the energy would triple!
The same is for us! We have more power in joy! In it is strength that can not be matched. But be warned, if you take this on you will be tested! It's already happened to me this morning! Ha! So this is part of my mission. To live a life full of the Joy of the Lord!
