Lighting up my little corner of the world

I am sorry I haven’t written. I feel like things are crazy in my head and my heart. I hear of so many hurting, and sometimes I am so overwhelmed by the fact that I want to do something. But sometimes all I can do is pray. Now, I know know know that there is nothing better that I can do, there is nothing greater than to lift someone to the thrown of Jesus and let Him handle it. I know that. I know that God is bigger, greater, mightier, smarter, stronger, loves more. I know. But I just want to do something.

Sunday Pastor Chilly was talking about how he is afraid to sleep, he said something like if Jesus comes he doesn’t want to be sleeping… I totally get that. Well, not the sleeping part because I need my rest.

People are always saying to me that I am awesome. I don’t know about all that, but I do want to be inspiring, and I do want people to see me and say “I can do that” and then do it. I think we are all called to different things, and at different times in our life the call is different.

I don’t feel called to adopt from Africa, but I feel called to do whatever God has given me that talent to do to help those He has called. Sometimes its to pray, or love, or just donate a bunch of my stuff! I feel called to run for clean water. I feel like someday, I will visit the place that is getting the donations from our run. So I will.

I don’t feel called to run a daycare, but I feel called to have a jar on my desk and collect change for a change. So I will. And I do feel called to love teenagers! so I will!!

I don’t feel called or equipped to join one of the armed forces, but I feel called to make Valentine’s and Easter cards and send candy. So I will.

I don’t want Jesus to come back or me die, get to heaven and God say “why didn’t you… I gave you the opportunity.

Maybe shoveling snow for your neighbors doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, but when you are mail man/woman who has to deliver mail in the snow, I bet it’s a lot. I know that when I was a kid, I hated walking home when the sidewalk wasn’t shoveled, and may I never forget. Coming home from a long day and your walk/driveway shoveled is ‘a little heaven on the way to heaven” as Pastor Clark would say.

I want my life to count for something. I want to the world to know that Jesus changed my life, and I won’t stop loving til I’m rejoicing in heaven!

Col 4:2-6 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
