Wahoo. It’s time for #livefree Thursday linkup with my friend Suzie Eller.  Be sure to pop over to her site today at http://www.tsuzanneeller.com and visit and live free.  Today’s promt:  filled
It’s also Day 15 of 31 days to Coming Alive which happens to be one of my favorite days of the 31 days right now.. Coming Alive More.

More is the word God gave me as my focus word for 2014.  I think I mentioned hat in other blogs.. and I should go back and look right now.. but frankly I can barely move or type or think.. lol.. because I took the plunge today and fearfully went to my first Spin class at the gym I joined last week.  I was so nervous.  and i don’t get nervous often.  I thought I would die in the middle of that hour.. but I survived.  Just not fully functioning yet 🙂  

True confession: Those feet. Not mine. Mine were not moving so fast.
True confession: i also wanted to tell you I went to spin class and survived so I could brag.
ok.. confession over.

I want to be filled with more of God this year. I know this sounds hokey.  But true. I want more of Him and less of me.

I am a more kind of girl.
If I drink coffee- I want more.
If I eat chips, I want more. And more and more.
If I take spin class– lol.. I want more of anything but spinning! 🙂

I believe God placed in us the longing for more so that we will look to Him to fill us.  To overflow.

Ephesians 3:19 that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
That’s better that upsizing my Mcdonald’s happy meal.

But I realize that often, I can miss the more God has in store for me.  Why?  Because I can start to look at most everyone else and turn their stories in a must story for me.
Most everyone else is married by 32 so I must find someone.
Most everyone else has a pair of those cute boots so I must have a pair… 

You insert your own comparison story.

We look at other’s more and think we must have that.
Being filled to all fullness of God means I recognize that God’s more story He has written just for me is the MOST incredible story.
I don’t want to miss God’s more because I am looking at everyone else’s.

Filled.. to .. all fullness

  1. Love this! I want to be filled to all fullness with you! Cups overflowing! I love you honesty about the spin class too and I really think a lot of ladies I work out with can relate to wanting more of everything except the exercise! But you keep going…it’s one of those things that takes some time but you will want more of that too!
