The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon.

I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, ‘Yes.’

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Do you struggle with body image? I read an article this morning and was reminded that I have a purpose, no matter what my body looks like. I hope this article will encourage you as well.

When we see our bodies as an essential part of God’s purpose for our lives and we value what God values, we can experience a freedom we never thought possible. Holding tightly to God’s glorious…

The One Hard Thing Bible study started up again last night and will continue until May. The prayer for this weeks study is

"Lord Jesus thank you for first loving us and because you first loved us, we are able to love. Thank you for making it clear in your Word what love is and is not. Lord, I confess I fall into Satan’s traps and do not always show love to others because I fear it comes at a great cost. Lord abuse has taught me love is not safe, but I know that is a lie because you are love and in your arms is the safest place for me to be. Lord, I want to freely love others, and I know I need healthy boundaries in place in order to do so. Please show me where I get this wrong and heal the wounds that prevent me from freely loving and present me with opportunities to walk out your love. Amen."
