All around me...

I know this is extremely late, but I just couldn't think of what to write about... to be honest, I don't even know right now. Lol - all I know is that I like there are so many things happening all around me in this world and I don't necessarily feel responsible for them occurring, but rather, I do feel like it is our/my duty/responsibility to uphold my friends and others (in this world) in prayer... some may call that... a burden, I guess.

I know God has a mighty plan for this up and coming generation... He's calling out a generation to be strongly founded on Him - not like the guy who 'cleverly' builds his house on the sand only to have it topple at the first torrent of waves, instead, MUCH like the guy who wisely builds his house on a strong solid foundation (ie. the ROCK) - it's this man that represents the generation that God is calling out these days... He doesn't want the feeble minded... He wants leaders who are willing to say "God, from here on out, all I am, and all I have, is Yours." He wants leaders who are willing to say "Although there are storms, and the world may tell me I am not safe... I will look to You and know that I am secure."

Guys, he wants leaders who are willing to say, "ENOUGH with this second-hand dual-tone life that I'm living, I want to live for Christ, and if that means giving up every part of me, including ever last breath, then so be it."

There are people out there in this world: men, women, and children - who are lost and need our help - they are the homeless, the en-slaved, the hungry, the depressed... the broken... and it's US who are called to reach out to them. Let's keep them in our prayers, and open ourselves up to what God is calling us to do... He has a purpose in each and every one of our lives, and He's going to let you know what that is exactly... But when that happens will yo ube able to say:

"Despite what the world may want me to believe, despite the chaos all around me, despite the questions I don't have answers to... Lord, here I am, tell me what you'd like me to do today."

It's a bit scary to think that God still gives us an option to say Yes or No even though He asks us of certain things, but in all honesty, it's up to us, as leaders, to set aside ourselves, focus on God, consider this world, and do what God has called us to do in it...

God bless
