My title refers to the concept that suggests I have willingly & knowingly submitted my life to an exciting journey of challenge & blessing, chosen my seat,sat down,put my arms up & allowed Holy Spirit to buckle my belt securing my journey & my destination. I am NOT being held back from anything but rather being propelled toward everything! I hope that reading my account of above said journey releases faith in you to find your own seat, sit down, & be Strapped In.

Greater Things
This morning I walked into a grocery store, hungry...is if everything was normal...as if expecting something I'd find in there would satisfy.
I walked through produce, meat department, dairy...the whole parameter while people in every direction filled their carts.
I found myself being increasingly disgusted by the concept of filling my belly...when my spirit is in soooo much more need of filling.
As dramatic as it may seem, I walked out empty-handed, eyes seeping tears, feeling as though I FINALLY SEE!
What are these counterfeit wants?!
I genuinely don't want for anything this world has to offer...at least not until my primary (spiritual) self is satisfied...
Which is not.
I want for more of what has not been seen!
God, I want for more of what has not been experienced!
In John 14:12 Jesus says, "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone
steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and
he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father."
I want more of You within and all around me...to truly walk in said "greater things!"
