The List

I’m super excited for this week’s LIVE IT OUT! List. You may or may not know that I’m working on my second book. Not quite ready to reveal the title but I wanted to pick your brain this week, if you don’t mind!

The chapter in this book that I’m currently working on is all about living Kingdom Minded. While this is a broad, complicated concept, it is ever so exciting. When we live with God’s Kingdom in the forfront of our mind, we take part in something so much bigger than ourselves. I think there is a desire in this generation to be part of something grand.

Here is a bit of a sneak peek at the chapter I’m working on to give you more of my excitement on the concept of living Kingdom Minded:

One day we will experience, actually touch and feel, God’s presence in heaven. Until then, we must not miss out on living in His Kingdom –– a Kingdom that is real! Even though we don’t see it, Jesus blesses those who have faith anyway. (John 20:29) This takes a heart set to RISE UP! and consider what is eternal verses things of this earth that will pass away. It is because things of this earth are so flimsy compared to eternal things that we must not hesitate to RISE UP! A fresh perspective will give us the jolt of endurance to go about our day with out worrying over the petty or fleeting. But instead, we will focus on living as an example to our friends and encourage them that this earth is not the end. This earth will pass away. We all have a choice to make in how we spend our emotional and physical energy each day. If we spend it on heavenly pursuits, our King is lifted high in our life. If we spend it on earthly pursuits, we will find ourselves running in circles.

So for today’s list, I would love to know your thoughts on the concept of God’s Kingdom. What words or thoughts come to mind? I might just quote you in my book!
Here’s my list:
~Kingdom: things that last…eternal
~Kingdom: never shaken…we can stand firm on it!
~Kingdom: God’s greater plan…I get to be a part of it! (YOU do too!)
~Kingdom: seek first (as in Matthew 6:33)
Your turn…leave a comment!
