“i’m impressed and also extremely attracted to you right now.”...

bahahaha. accurate. lol.
February 20, 2012 .
just in case my tomorrow may never come.
you know . i could leave this earth now if i had to. i could leave knowing that i have left this earth bringing glory to God. i am confident that i would hear “well done, good and faithful servant.”
i want to do SO much with my life. i want to do big, incredible, inspiring, IMPOSSIBLE things for God. i want to be the present day Moses who parts the Red Sea. i want to be the present day daniel who was thrown into a den of hungry lions, and survived. i want to walk through fire like shadrach meshach and abednego did with out even the smell of smoke on their clothes. i’d like to be Joseph, who saved a nation in the name of God. i’d like to be the mother of many nations like Sarah was..
i’d like to be more than i expect myself capable of being..
do you really think that any of those people i mentioned thought at the age of 15 that “hey, i’m gonna part a red sea one day…” really ? i mean, lol.. maybe they did. maybe they were sitting in their tents at 10:27 pm writing on their social networking scrolls about how they want to be used by God… what do i know. ahaha
but seriously.. they didn’t have all of those inspiring, seemingly impossible stories to “fall back on”. like - they had faith that none of us can even begin to understand… take Noah for example. God told him to build an arc because it was going to “rain”. THE DUDE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF RAIN, LET ALONE EXPERIENCED IT! … so what did he do? he built an arc to protect him from the “rain”… i don’t even know how to explain the faith they had.. me, i trust God to get me to school safely every day.. i have faith the God will provide for my family .. and well….. honestly, nothing that makes people freak…
i want to be a JESUS FREAK.
have you ever thought to yourself “wow.. that’s a pretty awesome God! … how come He isn’t, oh, i don’t know.. raising people from the dead NOW?” why did HE change? …
you weido? HE didn’t . WE did.
we put our faith and trust in SO many material and earthly things.. we need someone to be healthy- run to the newest technological developments and the smartest doctors…
we need money- run to the government..
don’t get me wrong, God wants us to be wise- but- He doesn’t want to lose “value” to us in the process.
sometimes i think that we use God as our final resort…. like, well, if this doesn’t work, i’ll try that, and if THAT doesn’t work .. then i’ll leave it up to God.
i don’t know if this is making sense because i am so tired, but i just REALLY want to encourage you to be BOLD. be daring. do those things that ARE impossible .. DO THEM. prove to the world that Christ isn’t a crutch we Christians fall back on.. SHOW them. put yourself in places where no one would want to be- GOD IS FAITHFUL IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, great - small . HE WILL NOT LET YOU FALL…
don’t do things to bring attention to yourself . you aren’t a magician looking for an applause. you are God’s vessel - give ALL glory and honor to HIM… play the background.
be encouraged, and take heart- the Lord is with you, where ever you go.
