Wow...it's been awhile hasn't it? I guess I got tired of writing online and went back to my pen and journal...I've always been a little Old School. Anyway, I took this week off for vacation and spent time with the fam, in the Word...its been great! Today I'm going to watch my son play in a Marching Band competition. I got online this morning to try and find a church to visit tomorrow morning since I've got the week off and I want to see what some other people are doing out there. Wow, it was enlightening to jump online and see all the different churches in our area and how each one of them have slick websites and great presentations. It struck me how there are so many people in our area trying to reach Pre-Christian people with the Good News of the Kingdom of God. I'm just a small part of that effort. But it also struck me how important it is to simply be yourself...to be real. I can't reach everyone in this community. A lot of them don't even want to be reached, but I know Jesus has a plan for this community and I know that I'm here right now doing what He's asked me to do, so I will continue to take one step forward and allow Him to use me. I can't change the world by myself, I have a hard enough time just changing me. But I believe in a God who is powerful enough to change the world and I trust Him to work in my life today. I trust Him to use me to bring His Good News to everyone I cross paths with. And I can't wait to see what He has in mind. Now with all that said, I don't really have a desire to change the whole world. I just have a desire to be faithful and follow Him. So that's what I'm going to try and do today. I'm going to be faithful, and I'm going to follow. When Jesus was here, He didn't even save everyone...just the ones the Father gave to Him. So Father, give me your eyes to see today...
