life mission

live to love.

love to live.

God is life.

my mission: to make connections between humanity and God, who is life!


i recently started reading the barbarian way and these statements struck a cord in me. this truly is what it is all about. live to love and love to live...in so doing, make connections to the divine God who is the sustainer of life.

with my recent health scare, things got simplified for me very quickly. focus went from kids, chores, shopping, laundry, work, ministry, friends, to ...BREATHE...just breathe. this unexpected hospitalization has given me new perspective.

life is a gift...

every breath is a gift from God...

what am i doing with that breath, that life?

do i take it for granted?

do is discount it?

do i think it will always be there and i'll appreciate it tomorrow?

i will be spending 2009 focusing on this life mission...how to be a better tool in God's hand to make significant connections between humanity and God. how can i be most effective? where can i make the most impact? how can God use me this year to further his love on earth? i will remain mindful of the precious gift life is and seek to not ever take it for granted...to chase after any opportunity that comes my way...i don't want to waste a moment.

i want to love more deeply...
share more intimately...
live with more passion and purpose...
and explore ways to sacrifice my life more for others and give until there's nothing left...

i am waking up more fully to myself and am excited about what God may be up to this year...

i will live expectantly with eyes wide open
