Sold out to Jesus
I meet a new friend here at Orlando. Her name is Christina. She just left for France for a school trip. After only a week and a half she made a big impression on me. She is an example of how a Jesus follower should be. While we were at the beach, Christina jumped up from were we were siting and told us that she would be right back. When she came back she had her Bible with her and was searching for something. She flipped to the book of Job and red this:"
"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. 5 Who determined its measurements--surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? 6 On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, 7 when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 "Or who shut in the sea with doors, when it burst forth from the womb; 9 when I made clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band, 10 and prescribed bounds for it, and set bars and doors, 11 and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed'? 12 "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place, 13 that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?" She laid the Bible down and explainded to us why she wanted to read this to us. She said that when she was siting she was struck by the awesomeness of of God. She is real. She wasn't trying to impress us or anything but wanting just to share God's glory with us. Most of my friends at home wouldn't do that because we were on a "fun" trip at the beach. Its awesome to see someone who wasn't afraid of being different. I know in my life I'm afraid of what people would think of me if I did what Christina did. I wish I wasn't.
