Preach It, Sista!

Linny hit me in the gut- Thanks, Linny! I really don't like the word "gut", but you know what I mean. Read her words. Pray over her words. Let them sink in. Dive into THE WORD and listen. God will answer.

God has really been stirring my heart lately, and Linny's post was meant for me. She says exactly what I feel but writes it ever so eloquently. It seems like many posts I'm reading these days talk about completely, totally giving it ALL to Him. Absolute surrender- emotionally, spiritually and physically. I even receive things over email and snail mail that speak the same thing.

I've said before that people tell me I can't save the world (some roll their eyes when they hear what I call the "passion" in my voice- it goes something like this, "Oh, E, stuff like that is everywhere. You have been blessed to be born in the U.S., and you can't get so caught up in saving all orphans or doing away with everything good in your life because someone else doesn't have it."). I know that. It's not my job- I'll leave that to my Savior. BUT, if He asks me to help Him.....if He asks me to leave it all and move to Haiti, I'd like to think I would. If He asks me to adopt 35 children, I'd like to think I'd say "yes". If He asks me to give up chocolate FOREVER, I'd like to think (DEEP breath!!) that I'd hand it over and never turn back. God calls us to do hard things so we have no choice but to completely lean on Him. Some people think because it is hard or because something other than our plan happened, that it absolutely couldn't be God. Oh no, not so!! Total reliance is what He seeks.

Now, go read Linny's post.

In Him,
