today

how warm was it today? taste of summer, can not wait! so i was reading some other blogs and came across a post by James Mcpherson. " like Mark Batterson and expect his next book to be a beauty. Wild Goose Chase is out soon. Here's a cool excerpt:" ... Can I share a personal conviction? I think vision is the cure for sin. One reason many of us get entangled in sin is because we don't have enough God-ordained vision to keep us busy. "The more vision you have, the less you will sin. And the less vision you have, the more you will sin. It is a vision that keeps us playing offense spiritually. "Too often we try to stop sinning by not sinning. That is what psychologists call a double bind. It's sort of like saying, 'Be spontaneous'. You can't be spontaneous now that I've told you to be! The way to stop sinning is not by focusing on not sinning. The way to stop sinning is by getting a God-sized vision that consumes all your time and energy."
How spot on it that! i just thought that was awesome because it is so true. Ive found that in my life, if God gives you a vision theres nothing thats going to stop it! you see it among so many young people who fall or slip up on a regular basis, they don't see their future just the now and present time. Everyone knows the Ghandi quote " be the change that you want to see in the world" well how can you not practice what you preach? say you have a young knect of girls or guys and you tell them not to go here or do that yet you do the exact same thing! parents to this all to well. well its because im an adult or im this old so that is how they justify it. Im not a kid! well that certainly does not work! I've realise that im an example to the world. if Jesus lives in me which we all know that Jesus lives in everyone, than how can we behave and act like people who are consumed in the world's ways? we simply can not. This has been a revelation to me over the past couple of weeks. Although it might be obvious to some. this is what was getting to me but my mind and brain is crystal clear on a lot of things now! I know my future holds something pretty darn special within it! I know i will have the most amazing husband and love of my life ever. and my dream of changing and impacting the world will be more alive than ever! Everyone always wants to change the world, people need to realise you can change the world one person at a time! much more managble that way! Ive always heard these sayings and love them. Someone walking down the street thnks no one notices them and you smile on the way past. It could seriously make their day. Or paying for the next person in line's toll or coffee. a few dollars yet could get them believing that good people do exist. Today's world is so self abosorbed in their onw little world's. Just step out a little bit. Out of your comfort zone. Like Reggie said, you have to change your schedule to change a life!
So pumped for Empire tonight, Tim Hall. Know something great is going to happen! Let this weekend be absolutely amazing! Be Blessed
