What's inspiring you these days? ⁠ ⁠ I'm in the middle of a 6-week renewal leave. It includes a whole bunch of rest, a whole bunch of counseling, time with family, time being creative, and time to read. ⁠ ⁠ So far, this jewel, Show Your Work by Austin Kleon, is the standout from my reading. Truth-full. En-Courage-ing. Practical and Inspiring. I love the combination of text and visuals, plus the lean writing style. There's meat on these bones. ⁠ ⁠ Again, I'd love to hear what's inspiring you these days. ⁠ ⁠ #creative #creativity #creator #artist #braveliving #wholeheartedliving #fullypresent #showingup #liveoutloud ⁠ #inspired #inspireddaily #maker #authorlife #pastorlife #creativelife #showyourwork⁠ (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKoQvkoFvuX/?igshid=6pd0axj23a4a

What do you long for most in this coming year? What are you leaving behind to help you move toward it?⁠ ⁠ I long for an end to the ugliness and division of our nation. I'm leaving behind hard-heartedness for curiosity and grace. I'm leaving behind isolation and me and mine for us. More listening. More seats at the table. ⁠ ⁠ How about you? Share your thoughts below. They are most welcome. ⁠ ⁠ Luke 1:78-79⁠ By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.⁠ ⁠ Ephesians 2:14 ⁠ For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us.⁠ ⁠ #peacemaking #peacemaker #makepeace #forgiveness #braveliving #wholeheartedliving #intentionalliving #encounteringgod #experiencegod #spiritualpractice #spiritualdiscipline #meansofgrace #stoplooklisten #fullypresent #listeningtogod #godisnear #christianspirituality #showingup #resilient #stayresilient #resilience #trustgod #safeconversations #listendeeply #imlistening #christmas2020 #happynewyear (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJdmIYcF5fI/?igshid=1rh0siytpf9fn

It's a hard and heartbreaking time. ⁠ ⁠ In the face of evil, injustice, and oppression, we pray and work for deliverance- liberation, truth, the common good, and real change. ⁠ ⁠ Do the work dear ones, and keep doing it. ⁠ ⁠ #dothework #prayandwork #faithandwork #braveliving #wholeheartedliving #encounteringgod #experiencegod #spiritualpractice #spiritualdiscipline #meansofgrace #stoplooklisten #fullypresent #listeningtogod #godisnear #christianspirituality #showingup #liveoutloud #trustgod⁠ #onmissiontogether (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFeuDOQFNyH/?igshid=1fi9ouj24rdtp
