Foundations

   I'm here in Spain, once again i'm taught that listening, following and trusting God is better than anything I could have dreamed or imagined. This place is beautiful, these people are amazing, this season is going to be incredible. It's time to grow, time to be intentional, time to pursue, time to go deep, to be open, to walk forward with total abandon.


   I've been thinking about foundations this morning. Honestly I started thinking about it because I noticed how much mine have changed, how much better they are now and how that affects how I live and grow. I realized while packing for G42 last week how little I really need to live, these few things I brought with are "foundations" with these few important things I can go anywhere and do anything. On the World Race we were constantly moving and constantly being broken, because of this my foundations were destroyed and rebuilt. Now moving to Spain, my life has been shaken again, and my foundations have been revealed. Change has a way of stripping down things in our life, a new job, new country, new community, new lifestyle if you want to find out what your foundations are then mess your life up a little! Ask yourself if these basic things are good, because your foundations directly affect how you live, how you grow, how easily you get distracted and how fast you recover. 


   When life throws you a curve ball and messes everything up, solid foundations will help you recover faster and recover stronger than you were before.


   What are your foundations? Some of mine - Face to face time with God, intentionality, discipline... (these three will get you through most of life challenges!)
