BE

The last 6 months have been a spiritual struggle for me. I’ve been dealing with a lot of unmet expectations, discouragement, and disappointment both within ministry and my family. During this season, God has been teaching me only one thing: BE!

Be satisfied…

Be where my feet are…

Be still…

In all the ministry stuff, the question I kept asking myself is, ‘am I satisfied with just Jesus?’ Ironically, I talked a lot about being satisfied in Christ. I wanted to be satisfied but if I was honest, I just wasn’t.

In all the family stuff, the challenge I kept telling myself is, ‘be where your feet are!’ Ironically, I talked a lot about being present with my kids. I wanted to be present but if I was honest, I just wasn’t.

Last week, I attended a sons gathering in Tulsa, Oklahoma with some of my favorite leaders. I really only went to hang out with some amazing people and wasn’t really sure why I was there or what I needed to hear. Then one of my favorite teachers, apostle Tony Fitzgerald, gets up to share and the first thing out of his mouth was, “Why does everything have to go ‘somewhere,’ why can’t we just be? We’re called human beings, not human doers.”

And in a flood of emotions I’m reminded that before I can accomplish all the great things I want to see come to pass with my life, I first have to BE…

Be satisfied…

Be where my feet are…

Be still…
