Years ago now I read the Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne and it spoke to me. It was speaking to so much that I struggled with in regards to American Christianity. If were not living in the Red Letters then what is it all about.
So I have ebbed and flowed of allowing the spirit to sow seeds and breathe dreams for how and what this means to myself in my walk. This "awakening" has led me in many different directions. However recently that walk has landed my family an I in Chicago. One of the most divided violent and cold cities around (yes okay you can tell I don't exactly have a over flow of love for the city as of yet, grace covers and sustains right now).
We have been here in Chi-city for 6 months now. After a long period of mourning our previous home in London, I am settling in. Digging in to why we are here and what it looks like to live here.
With a new year has revived my originally Shane inspired desire to life simply and generously. I want to get back there. So step one, pray to revive the flame and walk in it! Simple steps...I will journey with that here as well.
