Good Stuff
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 It's taken a month of quarantine for me to move my fingers over the keyboard. 1 Month. Like many of you, I have been surviving most days. Wake-Up Make Coffee Feed Dogs Read the Bible Feed Kids Workout Support Kids with E-Learning Walk Dogs Do Random Chores Make Dinner Clean Up Watch One Show Go to Sleep Start All Over the Next Day Don't get me wrong. I am having some really good, really divine, moments. I've enjoyed the empty calendar and slow pace. However, I haven't been the meme that's circulating that tells us how we need to be something more after all this is done; become that person we've been striving to be but haven't had the time. It's taken me awhile to write. Not because I don't want to. But, because I haven't had the head space to write. The enemy is hard at work right now. He wants to paralyze us. He knows that fear and panic are loud and overwhelm. He is well aware of the fact that when we are afraid, we stop. Stop creating. Stop doing. Stop believing. I'm done with that. I am SO done with him robbing me of the good stuff. An abundant life, as Jesus talks about, isn't one filled with riches and material possessions. While those things may exist, that is not what Jesus is talking about in John 10:10. He is talking about an abundance of soul: an overflowing of our insides. For me, that looks like writing, creating, and loving on others. So, I am done. Done with allowing the enemy to paralyze me in this season. The best way to punch fear in the face is to walk in His glory. To walk in His glory, we pick up the things that bring an abundance to our insides. What does that look like in your life? How are you energized? What makes you feel alive? Do those things. We may be in the middle of a moment in time that doesn't seem real. But, that doesn't mean that we don't get to live. It's time for these dry bones to come alive. This is your invitation to live today. Punch paralysis in the face and come alive in Jesus. "Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” Ezekiel 37:4-6
