Who knew?
Hello there!
Way to go, me, for not updating this beast for two months. Awesome. Anywho, lots of changes in the world of Mallory recently. Obviously, the pet store has closed. My last day there was something like August fifth. I am taking two classes at PBCC, English Literature and Ancient and Medieval History, and I like them. :]
Also, I work at Chick-fil-A now, so that's new. Very new actually, considering I just started last week. I'm enjoying it though, everyone is just incredibly nice and also awesome.
On a deeper note, I have recently begun to feel that I need to do something. I need to actively be making a difference in the lives of the people of this world who are simply surviving, and have no hope. Jesus brings hope to the hopeless, and I wish to be a vessel for His love and compassion. So, my current plan is as follows:
1. Move my life to Australia.
Although I've wanted to be there for my entire life, this will be no vacation. I hope to be part of Hillsong church, which is a church obsessed with spreading the love of God to those with no hope, living it out, and touching the lives of people who need to meet Jesus Christ.
2. Worship God with my life.
It has been brewing for several months now, but what was once a tiny idea has now grown to the size of a real, tangible feeling, which has influenced this decision. This past Sunday morning (yesterday), we had an extended time of worship, and I felt it. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life. This breaks down into two things: The first being actual worship, which I love. To sing, make music, and help people take what is usually a horizontal, earthly thing and make it into a vertical, supernatural, all-about-God thing. The second is to worship with my life. With every action and in every situation. I pray that everything I do will bring honor and glory to the only one who deserves it, God!
I also plan to study Worship Leadership at Hillsong Leadership Bible College in Sydney, Australia.
So, to get to the point where I can do this, I must take care of things here. I've been trying to figure out what I can and cannot sell. Basically, I need to sell and/or give away all of my animals, except my cat. Not sure what I'm doing with Kermit yet, my mom may want him around, maybe not. As for all non-living things, I really don't have many things to sell. The biggest pieces though, would be my car and my [pretty inexpensive] electric guitar.
So, God-willing, this is where my life will be headed soon. Of course, it could be that God has something completely different in mind for me, but for now I feel very much called to worship and to move. We shall see.
The moral of the story, and my life, is this: God is everything. There is not one thing, not one person, not one anything, that could ever stand against God. Jesus Christ is the only reason I am alive, why I am free. God is the ONLY reason I take my next breath. If He chose it, I could not even finish typing this sentence. It's all up to Him. The most powerful Being in this universe and beyond it, and He loves us. Unfathomable, but it's TRUE.
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty. Who was, and who is, and who is to come."
