chase me.

i was sitting in an airport last month about to go visit my family for a couple of weeks, which in my head is never enough! until you get there and want to leg it, because the benefits of independence quickly go down the toilet whenever they're around.
No, family is an amazing thing. if not the greatest thing God's ever created. The result of love it self, in every way shape and form.

it had crossed my mind, "how are they feeling right now?" and that thought made me squirm a little. Like the times you'd meet up with your ridiculously cute 5th grade girlfriend in the playground, you'd see her across the field and inside you were going insane, but the cool face held it together.
how do my family feel when they arrive to pick me up off the plane? i know i secretly put on a facade to try and show im cool and collected, But im 23 and im next to running up the air-bridge. This doesn't shock me tho. id had my belt off the moment the we had landed, just incase the larger woman beside me decided to have a power nap as the plane was banking around the runway, and id have a chance to maneuver my way over the back of her chair then into the row behind me so i could get off quicker.

an eager spirit is what is talked about in the bible time and time again! and something, im terrible at!
After id made it off the plane and safely into the arms of my Dad, my best friend (yes i hug my dad) i thought about this.
What if, just maybe... we all had this passion? To do absolutely anything to see God. If our hearts were this eager to pursue his embrace.

would we see the world change?

im a missionary kid, and time and time again when i was growing up.. id see outreach teams and people not much older than myself radiating with something that i couldn't explain. There was a time it was so constantly around me and i had to ask my mum what it was.
it was the spirit of God, overflowing thru people that were so set on pursuing their father. And the result of that was something, that to this day i cant describe, But i want it... more and more i want it.

Chase it. Saturate yourself in it. pursue it.
