Is it fall in your life?

Is it fall in your life? It happens to everyone more than once. It's that time in your life when you work through struggles, encounter an obstacle or get wounded by the events of life.

Fall is that time in life when the leaves fall off, all those things that give color and meaning to life fall away and become meaningless in face of a present difficulty. It is a tough place to be. It is also a good place to be – when everything falls to the ground, you get a chance to see who you really are – the real structure of your life and where changes need to be made. Ask God to give you the courage to see the real structure of your life and where changes need to be made. Jesus is the key.

Inheritance

Wow, I just absolutely LOVE THIS, if each one of us would just consume what the Lord is trying to say in these words ~ we'd be so free!

I dare you or me?

Hmmm, I see this video as an invitation from my Lord for deeper intimacy, total abandonment and real trust, the kind you can't turn back on to seek your own solution. This video coming to me at a time in my life when God is revealing something to me that I can not understand in its fullness ~ or as God puts it in His Word, "more than I can now handle". I revel at the risk involved in this invitation and the irony at how many times I've prayed over others that faith is spelled R.I.S.K. when I promise them that the Lord will catch them if only they jump. I wonder how my life might change if I dare accept the challenge of these words as though it was my Father whispering in my ear...

And I wonder if you can hear His voice speaking to you in this as well?
