It’s so contradictory to culture.
Humble yourself and you look weak is what they would have us believe. The reality is that there is power in humility. I know, I struggle with the notion myself! As a gal who seeks justice, I often forget that it’s in humility that I stand the most powerful. I feel as if I have to defend myself against the rival, you know? As I continue to journey through January committed to living intentionally, I’ve been recently reminded that humility is paramount. I realize that I might be the only one out there who is convicted in this, but you see, I THINK of myself as having an understanding of humility, but as I dive into humility, Jesus style, it becomes clear to me that I have quite a bit of work to do.
Jesus style humility. I’m working on it.
Don’t forget, there’s more creative inspiration over at ICDevos today!
It’s so stinkin’ easy to do…
Complain about this and that, while all the while letting the gift slip away. Far too often we let the things of the world burden our souls and why?
Why can’t we hear the words spoken in the ancient book of Ecclesiastes with a resounding life altering response?
Living intentionally will have that effect on you…

There are times when it feels more like spill than overflow. It’s true that the cup is stained but what a gracious God we have! He OVERFLOWS the cup despite the stains! I’m vowing in this year of living intentionally to take notice of all that goes into my overflowing cup.

As I ring in each new year, I look to the life verse that took hold of my heart several years ago. I look at how I’m doing living it out. This year it’s been impressed upon me in more ways than one that this year must be a year of intentional living, which simply speaks to all that Colossians 3:17 embodies. As I press into the call to intentionality, I need this verse more than ever.
So as the door to 2012 flings wide open, so does the opportunity to live out Colossians 3:17 in ways I never have. I’ve spent some time praying into it all and I’m excited! Excited to wholly live, “whatever you do in word or deed, do it ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to the Father through Him.”
Here’s to 2012~
