I’ve talked a lot this summer in sermons and small groups about action. I’m done! I get so tired of spilling out the same old thing and people getting exciting and of fire for God and the next day fall out. I’m changing my tactics! Ok I’m going to sort of talk about taking action and standing up, but I feel like our lack of action is a severe lack in God. Now I’m guilty of this too but I feel once we start to trust in God first is when we will see the action truly happen. I’m going to call another action of….how much do we trust God with our life? Once you can say God I’m falling and I KNOW that You will catch me is when we really will be able to take this world! Stay on fire! Wont back down! So I’m done giving out action……..so I call to action for all to trust in God so much that you know that He is holding your hand the whole way….because He is!!!!! This is me not calling to action! :)
Im funny - Im crazy - Im musical - Im loving - Im caring - Im trusting - Ive got deep and wide dreams! - Im competitive (and get in trouble with that too) - Im gentle - Im positive - Im loud!!!! - I have a big heart -
Now this is what i dont want people to know!
Im crier - Im soft - Im a little mean - Im not worried…Im concerned! (think about that) - I sometime have a bad day - Im broken - Im a liar - I think too much - I can be moody - Im a sucker for love stories -
There are so many things that can define me like my insane love for God and my crazy love for my girlfriend! This is why I am. I am Shane. Maybe this is a little too open but why be fake when its soooo much more cooler and better to be yourself. Yes i do cry…about anything that could remotely move the heart! And i would be lying if i told you i don’t lie. I do worry…sometime more the others (working on it). And YES….Im a sucker for that love story! Be yourself….I will be surprised how God will use you!!!!
“ Tattoos are some peoples old picture box
Start a riot with my lungs bloody, fist pumping, heart racing, and full of life.
With it all on the line…start this fight loud!
Never ending brutality over lapping never ending praise.
With our Will placed at His feet.
His vengeance will reap the benefits in the end of now.
With it all on the line…start this fight loud!
Movement is just a way of saying you’re alive, but how
When you look dead to me.
Pick up your head; His life was on the line, before yours was ever proposed
With it all on the line…start this fight loud!
Bloody fist show that the fight still remains with casualties in the first degree
Our knowledge of the end still is cloudy
But we look to a hope and His name is Jehovah Jira, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom.
With it all on the line…start this fight loud!
Crazy visions of the future make a sane focus to win the fight tonight
It starts tonight…it starts now….its about to get loud…there’s gunna be a fight!
Up! Has become one of my favorite movies for many reasons!! And the main part of this movie says “adventure is out there!!”
And this reminded me of a few books I’ve read of a man named John Eldredge. They were “Fathered by God” and “Wild at Heart”. A must read for all men! But in these books he talks about the mans struggle to become a man. And he talks in both books about the sense of adventure for men is gone these days, that its detrimental for a man to find and entertain to become a man.
I never want to get to a point in my life were my sense of adventure, adventure that God has given me, is gone. I feel in not Just mans life but women too. We are all on an adventure, whether it be alone or with someone else. And God has given us that heart of adventure…to live dangerous….to take the risks….to not just test the waters but jump in with both feet. I never want to lose this sense of adventure that God has instilled in my life so long ago, when I was playing cops and robbers in the back yard or when I’d jump the biggest ramp in the back yard………..and break my arm.
When it comes down to it…again….God gives us this adventure called life to live. He plans every step, He paves every road…even when it seems to be a dirt road. Advetures out there!!!
Secondly why I love this movie sooo much is because of someone else that so special in my life. This Christmas my amazing…awesome…crazy… insanely beautiful girlfriend gave me a book. It was called “Our adventure book” and in it we had some of the things that we’ve done together already, but it left ALOT of room for us to put more things in from our adventures! I can’t wait to see the adventure that God has for me with this amazing girl!!! I know that we have had some, but I feel God is preparing us for a much better, more dangerous, crazier, life changing adventure. Im ready to spend it with her!
ADVENTURES OUT THERE!!!!!!
There’s something about patients that every time I hear this word i just get antsy! When someone says be patient, be patient to be done with school, have patients to overcome this problem or that problem or PEOPLE! I work with children so patience is something I had to learn really quick. But still not till recently have I really been tested with patience. I want to be out of school and in another country teaching and PREACHING!
Patience though is a VURTUE!
God tells us to wait….wait for them, wait for HER (PRAISE THE LORD, THANK YOU), wait till this is all over and I will truly reveal my purpose and promise. God gives us this in between time to strengthen us, to make things look clearer, to teach us. Lets just say God is teaching me a lot!!!! But you know what, having patience is becoming a little clearer for me now because i seen the fruit that comes out of it. Its all about the journey! Take the time! Cherish it!
