1. The Barbarian Way- this book inspired me to live my life/faith like a rhino. Running full speed not knowing what was infront of me but having faith that I have protection. It inspired me to take those risk and be okay with living outside the lines.
2. Listening to music- We all have those musicians/songs who just inspire us to go out and take the world by storm. Or to at least get through a tough time. It amazes how much music inspires me. Like right now, i'm listening to my Brooke Fraser Pandora station which whenever i listen to I'm inspired to write and share. I guess thats why I love music so much, it has such an affect on some individuals that can be awesome.
3. Concerts- this goes with listening to music , but more importantly whenever i see live music, whether at church or Jazz Fest I all of the sudden get inspired to go and finish that song that I have been trying to do. Or to go learn that banjo like I told Dad I would.
4. Daddy's Sermons- When I hear my dad preach........ that is one of the biggest inspirations in my life. I see his enthusiasm and his wholeness. He loves his job, he believes what he says, and hahaha he does this thing hahaha whenever he gets real excited in his sermons he will bounce on his toes hahaha its the best, and thats when I know the Spirit is at full power in him. I get so inspired to figure out how I can recognize that same Spirit and learn to let it control me and make me bounce on my toes.
5. Blake Mycoskie (TOMS shoes guy)- This guy has taken an idea and ran with it, being successful in a company that has put shoes on numerous children who have none. I heard him talk and his story is truly inspiring. Afterwards, I was inspired to believe that my idea for making a change(which will be revealed in time) could work.
6. My mom's life - You know how people say mother's must be superheroes. They are. How my mother maintains a position as V.P. at work, do all she does for my brothers' soccer, started SEEDS and help our schools, get me into school, and so much more baffles me. But inspires me to never doubt myself or give up on those i love. Though she wears herself thin, she never once let that stop her from doing the things that were important to her family, community, and herself.
7. Book of Ephesians- Eph. 4:1-3 "I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." UNITY
8. I Love Lucy - I mean that show is just ballin'. We all need humor in our life. You know what they say, laughing helps you lose weight. So thank you I Love Lucy for inspiring me to be humorous and carefree leading to a nice workout many times a day. (this goes for Three's Company also)
So thats my list. There are tons more. But I just find it funny how easy it is to be inspired. Its hard to escape inspiration but for some people its hard to find it. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this. I kinda just felt like recognizing some inspirations in my life, cause they have helped me. They have made a mark. Alright enough babbling i think i am going to find some inspiration to finish my book...........
