Hold to the plumb line

A focus point or a plumb line word.  That is what One Word 365 is about.

I chose two words this year.

Dream

Burn

I can admit to not pressing into these words as much as I have the past two years' words.  Yet, this year how I look at myself and how I am living are framed by these words.   

I see the fire of devotion.  I see the places of freedom.  Am I there?

No.  But my heart is unlocked in such a way that I can pursue these things more with God.  I have given myself permission to feel and to believe, to own who I am, and to process as seasons change.

Throughout this year,  God has challenged me to look at how I've always done things, the ways I grew up learning to relate with and to the world around me.  I've found the soul numbing mechanisms, the co-dependent chains that have held my heart back from God and held myself back from living the life that I want to with Him

God has shown me more of how my heart is made to live in relationship, in communion with Him.  This is the spark by which I see my passion growing and my heart made alive to dream.  I am beginning to lay a hold of my heart and the life that is devoted to Jesus.

On to 2013...
