Each morning

As I see the beautiful light of the morning slowly enter the horizon, I take hold of the promise of God. He knows His plans for me, plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future. In the same way that I cannot completely look into the face of the sun, I know I cannot fully know yet what God has in store of me. I have to trust Him that He is in control. I often waver in this. I am thankful that as the sun rises each morning, I can be reminded everyday that His faithfulness is great and His loving kindness never ends.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
