I was just randomly going through my google reader when I came across this post about inspirations from Matt Chandler. I am so stirred. Spontaneously I have decided to work through my list. For the sake of talking it through I have decided to do it on here, my handy dandy blog.
When is it that I feel inspired?
1. Outdoors. There is just something about the beauty of creation that relaxes my soul and brings a wealth of feelings. God is there in creation. It is beauty.
2. When I am engaged in a conversation with girls. We can be talking of all things Jesus, or simply chatting over coffee, or even the moments my ears are hearing the ins and outs of relationships. I watch the ways their eyes shine, their smile is contagious. God is so in love with them. So am I. I must say that I have a favorite girl. You know her. We love to hang out and chat. I am never more inspired than the moments I sit with my 10 year old girl.
3. Listening to music while doing my morning walk. I don’t run. The words usually bring tears to my eyes. The song from Barlow Girl that sings the line I need you to love me gets me every time.
4. The Psalms. Oh yes.
5. Service at Ecclesia.
6. Sitting at the beach. I really want to do this alone one day. It is such a great place to think.
7. Through deep conversations with Ernest.
This is my first draft list. I plan to think and work through it. Talking about what inspires me has now inspired me. I want to love God with all that I am. I don’t want to be a talker I want to be lover. Next up what hinders my inspiration.
So tell me…
What inspires you?
