Inspired

Two days! Celebrating the small victories is important. :)

Listening to: Gungor, "Beautiful Things"

I am so inspired by some of the things that people are doing in this country to pursue Christ with all their hearts. I saw an interview both with some of the members of Gungor and Shane Claiborne. Some are living in intentional community, sharing possessions and bathroom space. Some have moved to different parts of the country to plant churches. I always end up asking myself: Am I called to live a life similar to what these folks have chosen?

No! In fact Shane Claiborne says it best (who quotes someone else of whom I don't know their name), "Everyone can ask...how do the gifts that I've been given intersect with the brokenness of the world that we live in?" This opens the door to for all of us to pursue that piece that we bring to the pie, that part of the body that we operate.

What part of the body am I? How do my gifts intersect with this broken world?

I am still figuring it out...and I think it becomes clearer everyday as listen to the Lord's still small voice, pursue education and positions to influence others...but I think it is important to ask yourself if you are pursuing this in your life or are you letting life slip away.
