Status Quo

I was asked the other day, what is it exactly that I do here at Eden house, and at first my response was a little filled with just jibberjabber. But as I thought about what I actually do, it's not really something that will fit into a neat and tidy status quo box that we've created in society. So.... I will try to answer but everything in me, just wants to say.....I am simply living life with this beautiful family. Everyday looks different. Every little thing we're trying to bring the Kingdom to the girls. It might mean I play a board game with the girls, that I paint 200 plus fingers and toes with nail polish, that I wash Apheridii's hair who has been recovering, or that I simply might talk with the Founders, Vern and Audrey, about how God has blessed their lives. There are not any concrete schedules, I guess you could say, besides love till your eyes can't stay open. Wake up and repeat. This is a slow life, where the little things point you to the Creator in a way that seems to pierce your inner most being every time. And most of you know that I can have this mentality of Go Go Go, and however despite all that, this just feels so right, and so close to the Father's heart. It always seems to me that whenever we slow ourselves down do we start to see the Spirit, feel His hand, and begin to smell the fragrance of God's presence in your life. So today, slow down. Bring the Kingdom, to the least of these. Lets forget about the status quo of life and start focusing on the words of Christ by loving till it hurts and forgetting what the world wants from us.
