4 more down... 308 to go. The weather is creeping warmer. This will help. I upgraded my runners in FL. My last pair will be strictly outside. Lots of great memories with them. My first 5k,10k. I will keep them for a long time, as they helped me out run Satan, if you will.
I have been listening to a lot of switchfoot lately, their lyrics are lights out.
One of my favs
I've tasted fire I'm ready to come alive
I can't just shut it up and fake that I'm alright
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife
I'll Let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the other side
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Cause everyday the world is made
A chance to change But I feel the same
And I wonder
Why would I wait till I die to come alive?
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife
I still believe we could live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now
Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now
Forever now
Forever now
Or never now
Recently I have had some pretty awesome conversations about forgiveness. The topic is deep, much deeper than any human mind will ever understand. One area specifically stands out is forgiving but carrying revenge or a grudge. Can you imagine if Christ died and held His act over humanity as something other than his Act of love, salvation, care and trust that we would take his death as our gift?
Matthew 6:14-15 Jesus tells your forgiveness of others grants you that same freedom.
Mark 11:25 Jesus tells us to pray without holding anything against anyone, forgive them.
It seems God is telling us that forgiveness is key to all of it, without an attempt to forgive you cannot even fathom what Christ has given you. Words will be said, actions taken, thoughts shared and lines crossed daily but until you move forward leading with forgiveness, you will have nothing, nothing.
If I could give Oak and Cal one immediate personality quality, it would be easily be ChristLike forgiveness!!!
I love this, all of it, Amber has been a light in the dark for me and walked me through understanding forgiveness more. Specifically where it comes from, why others don't view it the same and ultimately who is it between, my Father and I.
Now I get to share with Oakley at 4, what I learned the Hard Way (dc talk) at 28.
I am a work in progress, broken for Him.
