Stress
It’s been so long since I last posted on here but here is goes! I’m 43 days away from graduation and possibly ending my professional student career. It’s interesting to look back and see how much time I have spent in classrooms or other scholarly places and the effect that has had on me in the last 21 years. I wonder what life outside this bubble will feel like? Will it be continual stressful deadlines that i need to maintain, with there always be something in the back of my mind thats due at some point in the future, or will it be completely manageable and stress free? What I can tell you is that i’m so looking forward to this way of life and seeing how this next season of life will bring! Stay tuned :)

two thing you have told me,
that you are strong
and you love me,
yes you love me!
Yesterday the long awaited truth came out in a discussion between Dayne and I. Watching the love that Erik and Danni displayed to everyone that night, the way they looked into the other’s eyes showed the most rawest form of Love, spoke some much needed truth into my life.
“Michael how can I pursue you if i’m not the center of your life?”
Thats the question right there. I will not depend anymore on what others think and being defined by the relationships in my life. It all gets so muttered for me which prevents me to grasp these two truths.
That I am strong and YOU love me.

It’s been a while
Lets see the last time i have posted something on here it was before East Asia, Road Trip 2010, and Kasi Wautlet. It’s been quite a ride since then.
On Tuesdays we had POD time and so I decided we should go over chapters of the book Wild at Heart. One part that really stuck out to me was this excerpt:
“We are most alive when we are loving and actively seeking out others because we were made to do those things. It is when we live life like this, that the spirit of God moves and acts in and through us in ways that on our own we are not capable of”
There was a similar quote last year that stuck out to me and really allowed me to see what i really want to do with the rest of my life. That thing that makes me come alive and want to actively seek out his goodness and Love. Along with that, live my life on his terms and be a part of his rhythm he has for me. Ministry is undoubtedly that but i’m still trying to continue to peel away that in my life!
May we all come to know what God has for us that makes us truly come ALIVE.
