This is your life, are you who you wanna be?

...12 hours later, we're back at the house. That was a long car ride! Last night we had dinner with Benz :) he's so awesome! Today we're just chilling at home, the usual. And I really don't have a ton to say this time except that God has been taking very good care of us :)

Whats on my heart:

A couple days ago I was reading Authentic Beauty (Sadie, your right. It's amazing) and I was also reading the Bible and started to think about why we're here... Guys, this may seem like a really obvious, no-brains needed statement BUT I will share it anyways. God has chosen to use us in His perfect plan of redemption for the WORLD! People so often get caught up in the motions; making money, going here and there and just.. existing. Now, I'm not hating on Americans (or humans for that matter) And I don't have issues with people having nice things, having 2 kids and enjoying life...Thats fine! But The 'American Dream' is pitiful. It's not a dream at all, its a trap. Its a way of life that makes us numb to the big picture.. The real reason we're here.

Honestly, I've wasted so much time being afraid that someone won't wanna hear the gospel and they'll be mean when I share it. Or I'm afraid to be made fun of.. But My Savior was killed for it. People spit on Him and hated Him more than anyone else. So I guess what I've come to after thinking about all this is that I'm done just existing. I'm done living as if there are more important things in life then sharing my hope with others, cause there aren't. People who don't hear and believe are gonna go to Hell. They are going to be separated from the true God forever. That SUCKS. And I want to be like Paul, who was innocent of their blood because He had told them the truth. I'm not just talking about people in Asia, or Africa. I'm talking about our family and our neighbors! Lets GET WITH IT PEOPLE! Lets start something big :) If I tell someone, and they are saved..and then they tell someone and that person is saved, and they tell someone this could be AWESOME! =) think about it. God can use us. He can use us for HUGE purposes. And I'm saying US. The body of Christ has got to work together. We've got to step it up.

So, in application... Everyone should pray for that person on your heart who you really want to come to know the Lord. Pray the Holy Spirit will begin working in their life. Pray that they can come to know our Savior and share in ETERNAL LIFE. Let your LIGHT shine :)

If God is for us, who can be against us?! Romans 8:31 :)
