Seriously???

Is it really a week away from Christmas???
Wow, that’s scary.

My little girl is 7 months old???
Wow, that’s horribly scary.

I’m 24, and I feel like I am JUST now tapping into who God is, how to walk out my faith (to where it actually causes something to happen, cuz that’s how big God is), and realizing that I have to do whatever it takes to see the people around me grow closer to God.

Wow, that’s eternally scary.

Life is really so short. Again, I’m 24 and I am realizing this, what about those that are older, you’ve got less time. (I say this intentionally, not to be mean, but if you’re anything like me [stubborn, hard-headed, self-minded] you need to be SHAKEN, sometimes really anxious, and scared to make the necessary changes) Well……. we only have so much time on this earth.

I’ve found that I really need perspective in my life. I need a mission trip to really see for myself, that which I know, that America is nothing else like the rest of the world. Man, people are dying daily for the name of Jesus Christ. Husbands, wives, sons, daughters. They experience God daily because they have nothing else to rely on; to distract them. I need a fast to REALLY seek God, to get out of my daily routine.

You know, I really dont know what to do with myself after 6pm EVERY night. I watch TV. No matter what is on, seriously. I realized this just a day ago when I sat down at 8, after burning 2 hours waiting for “my” shows to come on, and watched 2 completely uninteresting, boring shows because both my shows were not on. Wow. Life is so much better than this……

I need perspective. My God can raise the dead. My God can create a new heart out of a broken, or wicked, or greedy, or distracted, or sin-filled, or adulterous heart. My God can change the heart of a nation, or send out people to establish a new one, think about it now, 200? years later. My God can and has made me useful through my failures, sins, weaknesses (And my God promises that that will not change any time soon, for you either). My God shaped my daughter in her mommies womb. My God CAN heal me, heal you.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Now, NOW NOW NOW. The power of God is here NOW!!

I want God near, in, around, working through me. And an awesome bonus besides KNOWING God is that He doesn’t go anywhere without His power!!!!

Are you ready for real life too?
