A couple weeks ago I wrote a blog called “The WORST
Missionary EVER” (click this link to read that blog). I figured I should give you a little update since then.
Lately I have gotten into Harry Potter. A lot of the people in my community
really enjoy the books and the movies (and when I say “really enjoy”…I mean they
are slightly obsessed). If you
hadn’t heard, the newest installment of the Harry Potter movies is coming out
on Thursday at midnight. A lot of
my friends are going, so I decided to buy a ticket as well. The only problem…I have never seen ANY
of the movies. So, the last two
weeks have consisted of me watching Harry Potter 1-6 trying to understand what
is going on with these characters.
And honestly, I have been sucked in! I feel like I am invested in these characters lives and I
just want them to do great things and succeed in life! (Yes, I do realize they
are fictional characters and that none of it is real)
At one point in one of the movies Dumbledore (the headmaster
of Hogwarts) turns to Harry Potter and tells him:
“Sooner or
later we all choose between what is right and what is easy”
I know what is right.
I know God is right. I know He is real…He’s just not always
easy. And that’s when
everything gets a little harder. I
want believing in God to be easy.
I want loving Him and spending time with Him to come naturally to me…I
want it to be easy.
But, it’s not.
So, I have a choice to make.
I can choose the easy way and live a life of superficial faith. I can still love God and have a good
life. I’ll still go to
heaven. So why not choose that
kind of faith?!
Because in the end, what I really want, is to want God more than
anything in the world. What I
really want is a faith so deep that nothing can shake it! What I truly desire is for every single
person I meet to see God through my eyes and my words! I want to be so in tune with God that
every breath I take and every thought I think is straight from the Lord. Will it be easy…nope. Will it be worth it…absolutely!
So, the choice has been made. I know it is right, but it won’t be easy!
