Guatemala 2007
Welp 3 months till launch(starting back in Guatemala!!!), a month and a half till training, a month till my first financial deadline, and a lil more than a week till my bday 🙂 Soooo much to do so little time! I have 2 more classes to complete, a house to pack, $13,627.50 to raise, some shots to get, some gear to buy, some people to see, then walk across a stage to get a lil paper and 3 weeks later leave the country for a year… Who would of thunk it? I am not exaggerating the thought moves me to tears almost instantly. I have to continually ask myself “am I really doing this? or “do I reaaally wanna do this?”
To be honest I don’t always want to… I don’t wanna leave my family for a year… I don’t want to miss my friends or their weddings… I don’t want to miss anything… a lot happens in a year. But when I have these thoughts I have to quickly remind myself of why I am even here and exist. I am not here to graduate college, get married, and live in the suburbs with 2 and a half kids. I was created for sooo much more than the “American dream”. I am here to see His kingdom come and help His will be done here on this earth as it is in heaven. I am here to fearlessly proclaim the mystery of the gospel. I am here to make Him known among the nations. I am here to be a tool that helps bring life to dead places. I am here not for myself and not by anything I did, but all because of the Lord and what HE did on the cross. Its ALL about Jesus ALL the time. He is worth it. Nuff said.
I want to go… I want to be His hands and feet and love the unlovables, the untouchables, the invisibles, the helpless, the homeless, the broken, the wounded, the abused, the misused, the women, the children, the men, the world. I wanna set the world on fire. A fire that is ignited by the all consuming love of Jesus Christ. The love that leads to total surrender that leads to complete transformation. The love that has radically changed my heart and mind, my wants and desires, my hopes and dreams, my goals and ambitions, but most importantly my eternity.
I wonder do you know Him? Have you trusted in the name of JESUS? Have you fully given up your life for His sake? Do you have a living, breathing, exciting, crazy, beautiful relationship with Jesus? Man I pray that you do. We are the creation, isn’t it about time for us to ask the creator what He created us for? He has purpose for you. For me here and now its going on this crazy world race. But what is it for you?
Let’s set the world on fire until its burning BRIGHT for Jesus!!!
This has been my all time favorite song since high school 🙂
