Live IT Out!

“Living It Out” is going to be the theme of the Beautyfull Mess Blog for a while, or at least as long as I can see right now… We all live something out, and I am excited to share with you about the very things that have become my “IT”!

What is your “IT”?  I would LOVE to hear from y’all on what yours is… let’s make this a conversation and help each other live out these important things that make each of us tick.

For these last five + years I have constantly been telling our kiddos, my husband, and mostly myself these very words:  “LIVE IT OUT”!  It is these very words that speak my hearts’ cry, passion, and love.  These three words are powerful.  They have the ability if followed through on with a heart tethered to Jesus to speak life, hope, love, devotion, and commitment.  By living IT out… we can choose to:

Live out our faith in Christ.

Live out His love to our neighbors.

Live out our commitment in marriage.

Live out our devotion to raising our kiddos for the Lord.

Live out a passion.  (sports, music, etc…)

Live out convictions. (without legalism- extremely important)

You get it!  The “IT” does not only apply to Christianity.  This “IT” can be found in anyone by finding what makes you tick… we all have “IT”, we all need “IT”, sometimes we just have to find “IT”.  And I desperately pray that yours too will be sought after in our Savior.  The very One who made each of us and yearns for us to keep our mission deeply rooted in Him.

For me personally, finding most of my “IT” was simple… but as this world seems ensued in evil, violence, sexual immorality, divorce, lack of commitment to almost everything, and an overall weakening of all convictions where black and white are now blurred into a giant “gray-land”… my “IT” is all the more important!   Knowing what you stand for, believe in, and why is crucial.  It is not only vital for yourself, but for your children, grands, and others looking to you as a role model.

P.S.  The Pratt house is working on the best way to have these three words beautifully inscribed above our front door… I want each of us to look at them, think on them, tap them as we leave and live them out each and every day! 

Can’t wait to hear from you all soon!
