Holy?

I'm not blogging about any particular event or anything, I'm just backing my mind up to the hardest thing for me to do PERIOD. I blogged about it on Feb. 27th, 2007...BEING STILL.
Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." It is 5 months later and I at times feel like a potato chip in a tornado!! The good news is, God created me this way, and placed a girl in my life to balance me out/pick up my slack. I now have a family. It is hard, fun, rewarding, challenging, easy, impossible, and great at the same time. As awesome as it is to reach certain goals/milestones with them, it is mind-boggling when I think about all that God has laid on my heart. I have a passion for CHANGE. Not just to be different, but to be effective. The Bible is more than a moral storybook. God is more than a pet rock (or a Webkin for the newest generations). Christianity is not a passing fad. Real people have lived their lives and died for the cause of Christ. So how can I do it??? Dedicate myself to my family, dedicate myself to ministry...etc... Won't my batteries die? I'll get too tired, burned out, washed up and lazy to be effective...OR I can replace ME with HIM!! God will recharge me. In HIM, I am refreshed, renewed, and energized to prioritize the world that I live in. HE will give me wisdom. HE will give me peace. I will lift HIM up. HE will increase. I will decrease. I connect, submit, and become flexible clay. HE takes over and makes me the useful vessel I should be. Part of the connection process for me is Psalm 46:10...I think I'll go pray some more.

God Bless!!

Desperation


"Desperation is the raw material of drastic change." What are you desperate for? Clothes, relationships, new cell phone, car, popularity, pleasure...etc. What wakes you up in the morning? What excites you? What gives you that "is Christmas here yet" feeling? Make your life different. Get desperate for God. Get desperate for saving lost people. Your life can matter eternally to someone, or you can waste it desperately chasing stuff that will not last. It's your BIG DECISION. The ball is in your court on this one.


SALVAGE...Just ONE real life.
