But anyways, 2009 is out of our hair, hahaha well, it's gone, forever, never comin' back, hasta la vista, but it's a good thing and I genuinely believe that it was a good year, excellent even and I hope it was the same for you.
But 2010...
There are sooo many things that God is speaking to my heart this year, and it's pretty scary that the message I heard on the crossover night was so made for me. God knows what He's doing, I try not to let myself forget that :) The message was about thinking deeply, and it's sad because so few people do. I know that it's pretty fun to act on impulse and do what feels right in the moment but it's a dangerous thing. Now, thinking deeply probably sounds safe, but rather, I believe that acting on impulse, and thinking at the surface-level is what's safe, everyone's doin' it. You're afraid to think deeper because you think you'll drown. And I have to remind myself that it's a good thing because it's just so much easier to not do it.
Thinking deeply requires courage, determination and discipline, all of which I tend to lack pretty often but God is my strength so that's going to change, big time.
And again, something else God has been teaching me to do is faith.
It's a big word.
Simple.
A pretty simple concept.
I've heard this word nearly every day of my life.
But I only started living it.
Recently.
I'm reminded of the story in the Bible, Jesus's first miracle, the one where He turned water into wine, and Mary tells the men at the party, "Whatever he bids you to do, do it"...
Weird how that's all faith really is...
Doing whatever He tells me to do, and everybody's heard that faith without works is dead, and a lot of the time, the things God asks us to do can be bizarre and most people would call them foolish but He's God and I love Him more than anything.
I have this fire in my heart to follow Him relentlessly and blindly, and that my friends is what I'm going to do.
And I pray the same for you all.
Buh-bye now
