All I Want To Do Is...

I have had an interesting week to say the least, but I was challenged several times to not take myself too seriously. Therefore, I made myself take some time to play a few games. I had to spend time trying to look past the cares of the week and look forward to the new adventure and challenge. I began to spend some time thinking about how the Creator loves to play with us on a daily basis. However, many of us, including myself, just seem too busy with daily life to play ball with Him and enjoy going back to the basics of this timeless treasure of just being with the One who loves to spend time with us.

Dad catch this!

I have been thinking about the times where I have laughed so hard that my sides hurt and I have tears streaming down my face. The Creator has taught me more than words can express about LOVE! I have been challenged to look outside of myself and see others the way that He does. Let me tell you that His LOVE for you is greater than all that is good in your life. All He wants to do is spend extravagant time with you! He wants to be invited to go with you into your place of work, school, church, home, vacations, and so on! He enjoys what you enjoy and He can bring so much more to the game when you just allow Him to participate. Stop take the time this week to play catch with the Creator! Just like my dad, brother, and nephew spent time throwing the ball around the backyard. Remember this that sometimes you must go outside in order to play! It's time to get outside of your comfort zone and pursue the Creator and see where He will take you!

Tears cascading down the sides of her cheeks as she beholds the Love of her life. As He moves towards her she can feel Him give her courage and strength with each step. Within herself she asks the question, why me? How could He choose me? Waiting so long, but she still feels so insecure with the One who is coming towards her. Knowing parts of Him well, but He knows me so much more than I know Him. Here comes my Lover, my Best Friend. The tears flowing freely as she/I step into His embrace.
