Go For It!
Doing whatever it takes requires the “Joshua Leap of Faith” doesn’t it now? I mean that is what FAITH is all about, right?
FAITH – 1. belief or trust: belief in devotion to, or trust in somebody or something, especially without logical proof 2. religion or religious group: RELIGION a system of religious belief, or group of people who adhere to it 3. trust in God: RELIGION belief in and devotion to God
Rachel had a motto of sorts in Chapter One –
“Go after God. Whatever it takes, do it.”
In this chapter she describes what most people feel as they have that urge to give them selves to Christ. You can’t explain it to non-believers; they look at you like you’ve gone nuts. The only real explanation is that it’s a God thing, it’s something you don’t forget, and like she said you don’t really “decide” to do it, it just happens. For so many though coming back from where ever you gave yourself to God, coming back from your HIGH (and it is a HIGH - uplifting, awe like feeling experience) it’s almost as though you have to come down again. I asked God myself many times; WHY do we have to go through this drug like experience.
I loved how this young spirited mind put it so well versed because it is exactly how I have asked God many times over:
“But saying yes to God isn’t like turning on a light bulb and making what was once completely dark now completely visible. Saying yes to god is more like saying yes! To an adventure – every day on the journey, you see more, learn more, and know more. And you just can never tell where God will lead you.
I remember wondering, later, exactly what had I done? Was I going to be weird now? Will my friends think I’m not fun anymore? Will the me on the outside be different from the me on the inside? I made the decision that night to give my life to God, but that was only the beginning. Knowing what that meant didn’t happen all at once.”
Continue with me on Rachel’s journey won’t you?
Many Blessings
