I'm not always wearing my full habit...
We often call Jesus the truth and name ourselves as His followers, and yet because the cost seems not only too severe but crazy, we refuse to live with the freedom He invites us to know. We are bound by the judgement of others; we fear the power of man more than we are grateful for the kindness of God. And so we, too, say to Jesus, “You ask me to be and to do something insane, out of the norm, and it will get me into trouble, and I don’t believe in You enough to do it.

You ask me to be and to do something insane, out of the norm, and it will get me into trouble, and I don’t believe in You enough to do it.
Yeah, that just about sums it up.
- God dreams big, bigger than we can imagine. If it’s not big and crazy and risky, then it probably isn’t coming from God.
- God always pulls us out of our comfort zone. If it won’t make you vulnerable, if it feels perfectly comfortable, then it probably isn’t coming from God.
- It’s not all about you. It’s not all about me. It’s about God.
These are the biggest truths I know, when it comes to discerning call and vocation. As I saw recently on a church sign: God makes all things possible, not easy.
