I like when God paints in the sky.
but you know what else I like? Actually.. I love it. i'm bringing myself to believe that it's my passion in life. I love telling people about God. I love it. I want to BE Jesus to these people that need Him so badly in their lives. But I have to be Jesus to myself first.
And I still haven't gotten past that part yet.
Sometimes I feel so compelled and wound up in everything that the world is about that I completely forget what I am living for. It's nothing in vain, or that I am constantly in pursuit to put countless nails in His hands because of my mistakes...but that's simply what they are... mistakes. Nothing huge to the point where they can't be fixed... but that's also the problem. If I worked that much harder, I could fix them without question.
So what's the answer in this mess that we call life? Who knows. It's different for every person. For me... since..ya know, this is my livejournal, and not yours, ;), I think it's important that I keep thinking in the way that God does, and not the way the world does. So the next time I see someone I don't HAVE to say, "Dang. Look what she is wearing. That is awful. My grandmother wore that when she got 2nd place in the 1933 spelling bee contest!!!!", but rather, I could say something like, "I wonder if she's hurting or not. I wonder if she has God in her life. Maybe I should go talk to her."
I know I'm rambling, and that I am bunching a whole bunch of things that I have heard over the past week into this post.. but... God has seriously put it on my heart to change the way that I percieve people. And He's not letting me fall short of what He wants me to do. He has already put new people...well...people that I have known for a little while, but wants me to simply talk with them, in my life. And I am so grateful.
Dang, life is good.
