Spiritual
Sausage

Probably my strangest blog title to date. But we have a funny,
creative, and loving God that lends its way to title a blog as so.

Here’s the story.

I went to church on Sunday (as all GOOD Christians do) (jk) and
actually got there a half hour early. I
got the time wrong for some reason. But I was thrilled to have the time to journal and just
process the 62 hr work week I just had.

As I sat there, sound and media guys were putsing with the days audio/video
stuff. The executive Pastor, Darin was
there and said something to the guys in regards to the piecey video work they
were doing.

He said something to the effect of “sausaging it
together“ They were
like “what?“ and actually
asked him what he was talking about.

He said, “it’s like sausage, the parts and pieces that go into it are
messy but it sure tastes good when it comes together.”

I had to smile at the conversation I was overhearing.

As I was worshipping… (this is
dumb) I thought to myself… “God, I haven’t really gotten a vision
from You lately”… (which is untrue) … but during
worship I hadn’t (which often I do)… and the
thought of Sausage came back to me… I thought… eww…

But what was said was “SPIRITUAL SAUSAGE“… we are all a mess, and messy… but when wrapped (encased) in the Holy
Spirit, we sure taste good to a hungry world.

I randomly had that sausage thought (sounds weird) throughout the
day… when I went
to bed after a really hard evening (emotionally)… I cried to
Jesus. CRIED. A while later… again… ”                             Spiritual
Sausage“… I got up and
wrote this down in my journal…

It’s all a mess before it’s ready to be eaten.

Messy parts and pieces, encased in the Holy Spirit – edible to others.

Our testimony, our lives, FEED HOPE to the hungry and
dying world.

Feed them JOY on a platter of HOPE in the presence of
the LORD.

A FEAST at the table of the KING.

YOU’RE WELCOME HERE…
Only the BEST for YOU.

So I fell asleep… (had a dream)… not about
sausage… Woke up this
morning, went on the treadmill, said my daily identity in Christ confessions… some
declarations etc. Headed to work… which I was
then told to go back to a jobsite VERY close to my home.

Trying not to be super pieved at the situation… I drove to
the jobsite… on my way there… here is what passed
me…———>

I was shocked (yet not) to see this number… it’s Derek’s
number… or a number
that God has given him for years… just
reminding him He loves him and is with him. Since I started dating Derek (not
now) I received the number in NUMEROUS places… reminding me
to pray for him and confirming our relationship… (that’s what I
took it as) so… anyway… here we have
the truck passing with the number 22.

 
 
 
 
 
As it pulls ahead of me I see what the truck is… A SAUSAGE
TRUCK! What? Not that’s it’s a weird
concept… just never
seen a sausage truck. It hits me… what God
spoke to my heart the day/night prior. This
is TOO funny. I saw where the truck turned off… wasn’t going
to hunt it down… but after a bit… I knew I needed
to take a picture of the truck to share this story… so yes, I stalked
a sausage truck… check it out.
 
 The name of the company (come on, really?) AMBASSADOR!  (what kind of name is that for sausage?!?)

Here’s what Ambassador
means: (noun)

1.a diplomatic official of the
highest rank, sent by one sovereign or state to another as its resident representative (ambassador extraordinary
and plenipotentiary).

2.a
diplomatic official of the highest rank sent by a government to represent it on a temporary mission, as for negotiating a treaty.

3.a diplomatic
official serving as permanent head of a country’s
mission to the United Nations or some other international organization.

4.an authorized messenger or representative. Abbreviation: Amb.,
amb.

2 Corinthians 5:20

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were
making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled
to God.

Now… I’ve never heard of a sausage
scripture… or anything… but here’s
what the breakdown was/is for me.

We are Ambassadors for Christ. Yes… we have messy lives, messy pasts, messy parts… but when we
are encased with the Holy Spirit… He does a
work that makes us tasty and edible to a hungry world… who are just
plain messy… wondering when and how any of it comes
together. God brings it together.                                                         
 
We
are suppose to be the living proof that God is who He says He is;
             God does what
He says He’ll do;
                               we are who God says we are;
                                          we can do what God says we can
do;
                                                                and the Word of God is active and alive in us. 
                                                                                                    This is representing HIM and GLORIFYING HIM!

Romans8:28-30                                                                                                                                                                                          
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of
those who love him, who
have been called according to his purpose. 29
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his
Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those
he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

As I type this… I notice… to be an
Ambassador (notice the words “sent“)… you must
FIRST be CALLED. Heed to the calling… because He is
calling! HE will, train you, equip you, and send you.

His kingdom
come, His will be done, ON EARTH as it IS in Heaven!

So… be Encouraged! 

You’re a
Spiritual Sausage! 

YUMMY!
