just my ramblings of a song that spoke to me today...
an encouragement to press on.
to keep your head up.
to break down walls.
to throw away fear.
fear from the past.
fear for the future.
because if you never leave home- if you never break free from the everyday-
what’s comfortable.
what’s practical.
what’s average-
you will never know what could have been done with your life.
you will never know how your life could have been used.
you will never experience this mystery- the great unknown.

no one dances the way you do.
no one shines the way you do.
you- whoever you are- you have been born with a purpose.
you are not a mistake.
you have something for this world that only you can offer.
so what if you never truly live? never break free from the walls of fear?
never step out to the needs of the world? never open your eyes?
you'll miss out.
we’ll miss out.

when will we learn to live outside the complacency of our own understanding of life?
this world needs risk-takers.
change-makers.
life-givers.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:7
endure the hardships.
keep seeking.
keep shining.
He's waiting on the other side.

'the great unknown' -i like that a lot. it's interesting when we merge our esoteric view of god with the simplistic calling of jesus. our faith was never intended to be comfortable. jesus never told us to 'attend church' every sunday (nor did her command us to bring others to church). when christians venture outside of the material church, authentic growth can happen. lets talk more about this. i wanna hear your thoughts.
"Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere."
