Live on purpose



Sometimes it is easy to get lost in this world....in the hurt that this world can cause. Sometimes things happen that leave us wondering how everything get so turned upside down....here are some things that keep me rooted. Living with intent is vital....and these things continue to help me live each day with intent. Maybe they will help you as well:

Stay soft.

Stay gentle.

Stay true.

Don't give up your faith.

Don't give up your joy.

Believe in miracles.

Have hope.

Dream.

Pray huge unbelievable prayers.

Never waiver off of God's Word.

Study His Word.

Consume it.

Live it. Breath it. Let it become ingrained in you.

Don't you ever give up. Ever.

Share your story. 

Don't be afraid of someone's pain. Look them straight in the eye and see their pain. It's ok.

Stand firm and bold on truth and do not be afraid to speak that truth.

Do not allow someone to manipulate God's truth and use it against you.

Do not allow abuse in your life.

Be brave enough to set boundaries, even when it is scary.

Pray for the people who are hurting you or those you love. Not kind of....but with intention.

Ask for wisdom. Every day.

Lead out in TRUTH.

Sing loud.

Dance whenever you want.

Stay active.

Never lose the wonder of adventure that each new day brings.

Believe that the God of the universe is in control. No one else.

Live out your faith. Don't just talk about it.

Be authentic.

Be raw.

These things I will stand on. For this world....it may be messy and full of brokenness and broken people....but it is also full of wonder. Beauty. Adventure. Joy.
No one can make me see that or take it from me....for it is within me. And I choose to see this world and the people in this world as the beautifully messy place that it is. For God looked upon this world and His heart was moved to such compassion that He sent His One and only Son to die for this world when He could have simply looked the other way....and I want HIS EYES.

Don't you?
