Just Sayin!

Cookie Cutter or White Picket Fence // Call it what you like, but....

There is nothing "cookie cutter" about my life. It is messy, all over the place, it's confusing. It's random, seasons are always changing.

Who said there was anything wrong with that?!

I'll be honest. I have wanted a cookie cutter, nice and neat, look good on paper kind of life too many times.

This kind of desire leads me to disappointment every time!

A cookie cutter life does nothing but point to self achievement and strength.

Why you ask? Cause a cookie cutter life doesn't need Jesus. Nor is it a life that relies solely upon Him.

Following Jesus is messy, it's random, it's hard and there are many seasons.

When I filter my idea of what I want my life to look like through God's Word, I realize that I don't want anything to do with those ideals and expectations.

Just give me Jesus.

I want the mess
I want the random

I want the seasons

If just to know Him more and daily walk beside Him

That, my friends, is a rich life!! The most incredible walk there is and one full of adventure!

So lets redefine our idea of what is rich, what achievement really looks like.

I want to be

Disciplined

Faithful

Willing

Available

&ready

For anything He calls me to do!

Hold me accountable to this. Have hard conversations with me. Ask me about my motives and intentions. I need it!

Matthew 16:24&25//Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.♥

Do I stand alone in this?
