Living in the pursuit of the knowledge of God is much more than a journey of information.

To say so is to say the universe were simply a dark container with no stars, planets or glorious solar systems. No. The knowledge of God is true life. It is joy and sorrow; laughing and mourning; sleeping and waking; eating and abstaining.

The knowledge of God is the encounter and experience of all we are and all we were made to be.

In all seasons of life I want to be alive. I want my heart to be alive. I want to feel and know and talk with God.

I want to drink in life to the fullest.

When times are good or bad or boring or exciting. I want to live that season for every minute and while drinking in the easy and the hard. The joy and the tears. It is all a part of life.

I refuse to ‘tough out’ the hard times in anticipation of better ones. I want today be the best day of my life by touching God and encountering Him.
