What do I do?

Love this question that Jenni has given us today:

If you couldn't answer with your job, 
how would you answer the question 'what do you do?'

My answer:

I learn, I go & I love. 

I make mistakes. I fall down. I go the wrong way, say the wrong thing. I treat people in a way that I wouldn't want to treat them. 

And from all of this, I learn. I learn how to correct my mistakes, how to get back up. How to turn around, retrace my steps, and go the right way next time. I learn to think before I speak, and I learn how to apologize. 

Every single day I am learning, and growing into the person that I want to be.

I make memories, make plans. I go out to lunch, or dinner, or coffee to catch up with a good friend. I spend the money to go to a concert or a baseball game. I hop in the car and make the drive to go visit someone I love, and when the drive is too far, I book a flight. 

I go. I recognize that now is the time to do these things, before I have a family to put first. So I may not be saving as much as I should, but right now, I choose to go make those memories. 

I love. This pretty much combines all three into one. I love people by spending time with them, by listening to them, by laughing with them. I love people by going through this thing called life with them. 

I spent the majority of my life loving people in a way that always left me looking for validation in return. I am finally learning how to love selflessly, the way Christ loves me. And while it's a constant work in progress, it's absolutely something I am committed to working on. My one desire for this life is to love people in a way that points them back to Christ.
