So What....

So, what is life in the certain place? 

More importantly, what is a certain place? 

How do I know I am in a certain place?

Well first let me give you the back story on this idea of the certain place. It was the words of Priscilla Shirer who opened my eyes to this idea of this so called certain place.

What is the definition in her words? It is simple really, in between your past and your future - there lies the certain place. Sometimes this place can seem dark, your vision a little foggy, maybe you even feel lost in your own identity and surroundings.

Most of the time we would prefer to just mindlessly fall asleep in this place and wake up in our idea of a new and better place.

The problem with that idea is that we could end up, and most of us do, end up sleeping our lives away. Guess what, that is exactly where the enemy wants us. Sound asleep.

He knows the secret, and now we can all know the secret. These certain places is where our Father chooses to meet with us, chooses to speak to us, chooses to draw us out of our sleepiness and into a life that is vibrant, full, and joyfully overwhelming. Because you see, these places, they are sacred places. And to be honest, I am tired of missing out on my own life.

In these certain places we are blind to the good. But I have to believe it is there. It exsists, because why wouldn't it? Our God is to good not so show good in all situations. The question is simply this, am I awake enough to find that good.

So I owe a HUGE thanks to Priscilla Shirer for opening my sleepy eyes to my certain place.

What is this certain place I am in anyways and why am I choosing to blog about it for a whole bunch of strangers to see? Well, I have to believe this certain place in my life is happening for a reason. I am half awake, and I have a story, a purpose, a call even if it feels to dark to find anything here.

But HERE is where I am, and here I will remain until He decides to take me there - wherever there might be.

So follow along, pass it along...or don't.

I do know this, I am just starting to wake up.



13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—
and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—
not as unwise but as wise...

Ephesians 5:13-15
