Hey, Var!

Have you ever had a misunderstanding in a friendship that caused a tiff, a rift, a blow up or a meltdown? No? Ok, us either, but let's talk about it anyway for fun's sake, shall we? 

Misunderstanding probably gets us all everyday, multiple times a day! No shame here, friend; it happens to the best of us. But, instead of playing the blame game over how she was so wrong and we were so right, how about we better understand where misunderstanding comes from, how to communicate better to avoid it, and what to do if you're stuck in the middle of it now?   

We might have a TINY (with capital letters) bit of experience in this area, so listen in for help and, as usual, a few ridiculous stories of our flawed ways and God's remarkable grace that continues to show us ways to do Friendship better than we could without Him or each other.

Studies show that the Creativity factor is the number one recognized attribute in successful leaders; that creativity is a revenue generator; and that every person alive (that means you!) is born creative. Basically, we have to learn how NOT to be creative, and we’re sure doing a bang-up job at that (thank you western culture, technology, and the anxiety of hustle)!   

So, I bet you can guess we’re going against that in this episode to unleash some Creativity, both in our personal lives and in our Friendships! We’ll talk about how to get Creativity flowing if you feel stuck, why it’s important that you create, and how to do it together so that you build something that lasts.   

We hope this episode leaves you inspired and ready to become the Creative Genius you are so that your personal expression lives loud on the earth today!

Have you ever asked yourself why you are here on the earth and how do you accomplish what you’ve been put here to DO?!  

We never do this. Except every other day. We’re not entirely sure we have the answers, obviously, but we think walking fully in our Callings might have something to do with who we bind ourselves to in life. These people (if they’re the right people!) help us achieve what we never could alone. Even though it’s a big word that feels about as attainable as walking on water—come on, Friend, let’s see if we can make some sense of it!

To move from casual connection to committed affection requires trust, obedience and, above all, a giving and receiving of love, as someone else's hopes, dreams, and destiny fill your arms with Life.

People are begging for a place to truly be themselves: accepted, loved, and not left behind. A place to truly belong, to stretch and grow with honest and loving accountability. But these places can seem like a fable, just out of reach.

But maybe, just maybe, we were made to experience something more: closeness to someone that makes us feel seen, heard, and known.

Look into the eyes of the friend God has placed in front of you. Her commitment is calling to you and daring you to test its breadth. And my dear friend, I can tell you right now, it's wide enough for you to step into. The arms of covenantal love that Won't. Let. Go.

And if you accept it, its power will heal, strengthen, and catapult you into deeper places of intimacy and calling that you have longed for but could never achieve... Alone.

Blog of the Week Excerpt:

So, I’m making a covenant with you.”

Perhaps the breakdown was in my delivery, but honestly, I expected something a little more grateful or weepingly ecstatic because of what I had just offered her—my undying commitment until my last earthly breath. Instead, she sounded somewhat alarmed as she asked what that meant and if she was supposed to make one back, sort of with the reflection in her voice that said she had just eaten one of her allergic foods that was triggering her gag reflex. I said I wasn’t really sure. She accepted my covenant, thanked me, and we hung up, my car rolling a little lopsided on the wheels of a one-way commitment.

Maybe we should stop focusing on what we can’t do, and start focusing on what God has called us to do! And sometimes those things He calls us to are blazing trails so that others can move forward in the paths we leave behind.   

Are you one of those called to Blaze a Trail?! If so, this week on the Podcast we take a look at 3 Trailblazers in the Bible who show us that Intimacy with God, Risk in the face of losing everything, and Influence in the high places are vital to fulfilling our callings in this world.
