This week has been a lot of fun.
Boss man was out of town and put the six of us interns in charge of testing the giant swing... without getting hurt of course. It was quite a process but we figured it out. It is great to be outside and working together. Laughter is never short when we are all together. thankful for that.
I just finished reading a book called This Beautiful Mess by Rick McKinley. He says, “I like thinking in terms of levels of achievement because it gives me a sense of power and control." I feel as though I often fall to this thinking. Even if it seems to be striving for something admirable. I find myself striving to get to the next level of life… to be the next level better daughter, friend, Christian, or whatever it is at the time.
McKinley challenges us to let go of that idea and realize that with Jesus in our lives, levels are not needed because “Jesus has rescued us out of the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son. We’ve been taken from one dimension and moved to another. No levels, just transferred by the King.”
This idea makes sense to me. No levels.
God just wants to be with us.
It is important to be in relationship with God, love, and serve.
This is super relevant for me to remember especially at this stage of life when transitions are often and we are expected to achieve and grow in the world. God calls us to grow in Him.
That is the real achievement of this life.
"Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me" John 15:4
Glad to be outside again.
