Falling in Love

"Falling in love is an effort to retrieve Paradise, that dimension of bliss where no one is blamed for anything, and everyone is fully appreciated for who they are. What we see when we fall in love is not illusion, but truth. We want to fall in love because we want so much to return to God."
-Marianne Williamson

To Be Filled






I have been home for a while now. April 2nd I landed on Canadian soil returning from 7 months in Cambodia and India. The adventures that I experienced are beyond expression. What I am slowly realizing as I settle back in to my native culture is that my adventure in Cambodia was only beginning. I am ruined for the ordinary. I am meant to chase the perfect plan for my life, constantly and consistently.

I was inspired today reading:
"It really is an astounding truth that the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. He lives in me. I do not know what the Spirit will do or where He'll lead me each time I invite Him to guide me. But I am tired of living in a way that looks exactly like people who do not have the Holy Spirit of God living in them. I want to consistently live with an awareness of His strength. I want to be different today from what I was yesterday as the fruit of the Spirit becomes more manifest in me.

I want to live so that I am truly submitted to the Spirit's leading on a daily basis...I don't want to keep crawling when I have the ability to fly."

- Francis Chan
"Forgotten God"

I am fighting to be filled and live full and overflowing in Spirit. It's more of a battle than I had imagined being back home. But I know that I don't want to crawl anymore...I want to FLY!

Blessings to you ALL!!
