So, here we go on the prompt "other".
"What are your other interests?"
It seems like life wants us to narrow down who we are and what we do into a nice, neat package.
And yet, we resist this labeling.
"I am more!" we cry.
"I want more!" is our inner cry.
You see, what is that "other" interest, pursuit, keeping you from being wholly fulfilled to the core of your soul?
These challenging thoughts have been a very clear message to me lately from the Holy Spirit.
Am I living for myself? Or am I living for God and what He wants to do through me?
These convictions don't lead to shame or guilt, but a mindfulness and a sense of renewed purpose.
Do I want my life to be filled with Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control?
If so, then that person of the Holy Spirit needs to be my center.
The task list can wait and the emails are going to be there when I'm done, but I need to worship.
Worship is like breathing. If you're not experiencing worship, full, unabandoned daily worship, you are not taking care of your spirit. This can be different for many of us. Worship and music are intertwined for me, but I'm a musical creature and music is my love language. I LOVE to sing praises to God and play music for Him, and to worship with others as well.
Maybe it's reading your Bible quietly, maybe it's journaling, or creating artistic verse images.
Though the timer has rung, perhaps you've begun to hear that still small voice like I have.
Blessings, friends.
Love,
Tammy
This song has been stuck in my head for weeks, but I couldn't remember how it began. Every week at church I would hear the interlude in my head with the female vocals (and no words there). A friend of mine was able to find it for me, based on my "ah-ah-ah-ah" rendition of the interlude. :) Enjoy!
