As a member of Christian band, you end up talking about things that are pretty lofty and sacred sometimes. For example, you'll hear us shouting from the rooftops about our great God, and asking our generation to step out and serve Him by loving the world. When we're talking about this all of the time it makes us aware of how easily we ourselves miss the mark every day. The first part of today I had a hard time sharing love & kindness and it's easy to let the cares of life nag at you. But we MUST not let this happen. As we boarded our last flight today I felt God tugging on my heart. So I immediately dropped every distraction and began to seek God with all my heart. There was such peace and rest in this time with God and it broke down the walls in my heart. Colosians 4:2-6 jumped out at me and nourished my heart and it felt like every word MEANT something to me in that moment. God totally knows what we need, and WHEN we need it.

We are God's children and we CAN walk this out. We can be who God has called us to be! If we'll just keep our eyes fixed and set on Jesus... we'll win this war, and celebrate the victory that Jesus bought with His very life. He's alive. And so are we! Let's change this world and bring heaven to earth through the power & authority of our saviour Jesus Christ.

Don't you feel something peculiar in the air? Something's going on and I want to be a part of it.

love is on the move.

Hey Leeland bloggers! Hope everyone is doing well. Hope this encourages you...

"In Him was life and that life was the light of men." St. John (Speaking of Jesus)

Is it just me, or does it seem like we're the walking dead sometimes? I mean, come one people... we serve Jesus! : ) Not only do we serve Him, but when we got saved, His life and nature were poured into us without measure.

This means that the same life and light that burst forth from Jesus, now dwells inside of us. Because HE lives in us!

When we really grasp this truth, everything changes. Like a ripple effect, His love begins to alter everything about us. But the choice is yours. The ball is in your court.

Will you allow the life, love, and light of God to transform your life? It's a choice I have to make every morning with my coffee... and every afternoon when I get cut off in traffic... and every time I get a middle seat on a plane at 5am. : )

I remind myself that I'm no ordinary person, drudging through some ordinary life. I'm extraordinary because someone exceptional has taken residence in my heart. God himself!

Please share your thoughts. How do we practically walk this out?

much love
