I delight greatly in the Lord, my soul rejoices in my God. (Isaiah 61:10)
Wow, so many things have happened this week. I cant even explain it. But God showed me something that I really needed to see.. Okay so me and kate were in cpr and I could tell something was wrong, so I asked, she cried & told me. I was debating to myself whether or not to bring God into the picture or not. You know, like what if she thought I was crazy, what would the people around me think? I couldnt decided what to do. So I was just sitting there listening to her talk and Graham walked up and sat next to us and totally started talking about God. It was like God telling me, okay you dont need to be afraid to talk to others about me, look at this.. and then Graham showed up, and im glad he did. Kate is coming on a retreat with me! im so excited!! But then I realized later the day when i was thinking about the conversation that I get so mad because my church kinda dances around the truth to make it sound all nice and pretty. When sometimes the truth hurts. We are all sinners who without having a relationship with Jesus Chirst, we are going to hell. All we need to do is except him as our Lord and Savior and have a relationship with him and witness to others. But I feel that my church doesnt just come out and say it..I get so frusterated about it. But when I was thinking about everything from earlier in the day I relized that I was being a TOTAL hypocrite. I sit and critize my church about not JUST SAYING IT when I had the perfect opportunity to JUST SAY IT to kate and totally kept my mouth shut because I was afraid of what she would think, and of rejection. So ive decided that I need to just trust God and not be afraid to share His Word, because really they wouldnt be rejecting ME then would be rejecting GOD.
So yeah, Thats my story, and I know to some of you this may sound stupid, but let me tell you. IF you dont know Jesus..Its the best decsision I have made in my life. and the most important.. Where are you gonna spend eternity?
