I'm Back

It's been a while since my last post. Sorry about that - not that anybody really reads this - It just feels good to talk some things out. God has been blowing my mind lately. Lately I have constantly been aware of God. And when I do have moments that I didn't think of him, I hurt and feel empty. I have missed this feeling. I went through a period of time when I didn't feel anything where God is concerned. I could go a whole week and talk about him on Sunday and feel fine. How fake is that? I am so glad to be back to where I think on God very often. With intimate relationship comes this incredible awareness of death. This overwhelming feeling that has been with me since I was a kid. I used to always try to stop thinking about it, but lately, I have embraced it. You see as humans we have a hard time with the concept of forever. Our minds don't go that far. Awareness of death is what helps us realize there is so much more than this short life. We don't like to think about it, but it is coming. You can not change it. What are you doing to impact lives with this short one you have? Where have you put emphasis? Is your job, house, status, hobby, church the most important thing in your life? It shouldn't be. As Christians we should not do one thing without thinking about the impact on eternity. You only get one shot in life. It would suck to get to heaven only to realize that God had something so much bigger for you. Even if God did alot through you, imagine if he wanted to do even more. What box have you put around yourself? What box have you put around God? One shot, One chance - If you aren't concerned with what God wants you to be - You are worthless. My pastor said something incredible this week. He told our church if you are a regular attender or a member here, and you are not doing anything, "YOU ARE DEAD WEIGHT." I was like YES. That is it. What are you doing with your life. If you are not dead - God still wants to use you. If you are dead, you aren't reading this blog. Death is coming - are you ready for God to show you what He wanted to do through you? Keep an awareness of death. Its healthy.
