Have you ever wanted something so bad it made your whole body ache ?
But more, you could feel it in your bones ? Something you wanted so bad you lost sleep, appetite and drive for anything but that ONE thing ?
That’s how I feel about God, about His path for me. And that’s how He feels about me – about each and every one of us, even. Unbridled passion, untamable desire, untouchable drive. God will stop at nothing to get my heart and I will stop at nothing to fight for His Kingdom.
And honestly, when I think about dreams and about achieving them, sometimes I still get caught up in the fantasies of this world. Will I be wealthy enough to support both my immediate and new families ? Will I be a known name in a company because of my achievements and my character ? But when I think of the steps necessary to get to those places and the ultimate achievements, I feel empty, used. Do you know what I mean ? You work so hard for so long toward a goal and you focus so much on the journey that often times the end result is accomplished and you’ve forgotten why you wanted it in the first place.
It’s a daily struggle, remembering how and who God has called me to be. To be stronger, more full of compassion and joy. To be passionate and in love and awe of the glory and hope He brings to this world. But every moment, every day I begin by devoting it to Him ends, my body feeling full in the most wonderful of ways.
This is why, even with two months left to fundraise 2/3rds of my goal for my first deadline, I’m not standing down. I won’t be discouraged or slouch against the enemy’s raised arm. I will gnash and bare my teeth and with a vicious snarl, I will press on toward the prize. For our God is fighting for us ALWAYS and I will give my all to answer to His call.
