If i'm not living from my heart, I'm already dead.
Im discovering that most of the time the only battle we have to fight is to operate from who we are. Earlier, I finished the movie "Lord of War." The last line of the movie, Nicholas Cage says "Dont go to war, especially with yourself." I feel like this entire trip to the beach has been a slow progression of a comfort in the world and a normalicy of indifference to Gods reality robbing me of "me." Ive been at war with who i truly am, who God says I am, who He's shown me i am.------The beauty of it it is that Im ruined. Its like i must live from my heart or i will die. In fact, If im not living from my heart, Im dead already.

Im diggin it bro. I feel ya 100% and personally I feel like Im dying because I find myself living the life that my heart tells me isn't who I really am. It all comes down to our identity in Christ which comes from our obedience to His Will for our lives. Keep doing life brother. He will revive your heart in an awesome way that will ultimately bring glory to His name. Ahhh its sooo good!
Soak it up!
wow, how true that is. i tried to avoid my heart recently and my world fell apart. what a call to BE this life for Jesus is. He did so much to make us new and how often we fight our own identity.
funny you felt that way. my trip was just the opposite...I have run myself into the ground the past year and a half and, for me last week was a time of complete clarity (minus the Lunesta-that stuff messed me up) and stillness...a time to take a step back and see my steps from a different perspective. the Lord used the beach to usher in a new season of my life that I couldn't be more thrilled about.
in continuation: always good to hear your thoughts and where you're at. And who's the one-legged girl in the picture? It does look that way.
Scary how i cant believe how huge this is. and it took me until this weekend to even catch a glimpse of what that really means.. I can rest assure I've only warmed up to understanding what living from your heart is but I'm excited bout what He has for us bro. I cant express how much I enjoyed you filling me up man.. Be blessed.
