I'm doing 34 things
My birthday is coming up at the end of the year and so is Christmas but I have had an amazing experience already. I may add another one as the year progresses but this will continue to be the most rewarding.
I was the reading the news online and decided to read about the terror attack in Mumbai… The article I read changed my life. I am in America where we have all sorts of freedoms so I forgot that people are dying for the things I take for granted. Like being able to worship God and to pray to Him. I take church lightly because it has always been here and probably always will, but what would I do if I could no longer attend church? What would I do if terrorists burned down a nearby church? Would that stop me from attending? I am called to be a teacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ but I find myself always making excuses for my calling and my behavior. I am supposed to be an example for God and I let people do whatever they want in my presence. If someone does not know God, then I am the closest thing to Him for them and I take that job for granted. I am so ashamed at the way I have treated God. People are dying and I am having the time of my life. God is not pleased with me nor is he pleased with what I have been doing with the calling He gave me. I am supposed to be evangelizing and sharing the word and I am sitting here doing nothing. God gave me so much to work with and I am squandering all my talents. I don’t even read the word like I should. Or pray like I should. Or evangelize or teach or anything else. With this revelation comes manifestation. So now I must act on what I have been shown. I am going to separate myself and get my spiritual life together. If you cannot be a partner for me in Christ, then we need not hang out. I can pray for you and intercede for you but I refuse to just sit around and do things that are not edifying to the body of Christ. God is not pleased. 2009 is the year of judgment and I want God to look favorably on me because I have been true to His word. I want my life to be a testimony to His goodness. If God be for me then no man can be against me.
