In the last 5 days:
Hole in my radiator
Broken internet
Job's lost/on the brink
Birthday's Celebrated/ without all the people I love
Sleep lost
Head confused
Heart twisted....
But God is still God.
"If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this." C. S. Lewis
Peace in time of storm, seems almost impossible. Until we give everything up to God how is God suppose to fully take over our life. This idea of peace, takes more than Yoga everyday, or reading your Bible, or even praying it takes full surrender, which when you think about this it is a terrifying thought. Christ did not call us to be "lukewarm Christians" rather in His words He wants us to "Take up your cross and follow him". Like Francis Chan says in his book Crazy Love, and loves to reiterate every time I hear him speak, "Jesus asks for everything. But we try to give Him less." Lukewarm faith is completely useless in the Bible it says it can't even benefit manure. Wow maybe it's about time to live in faith, and walk in peace. Even when we don't understand, even when I don't understand, am I willing to take my cross and meet Jesus there?
Summer day 10
