Get Out There and Do It!!!

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." Gandhi said that. That quote has spoke to me a lot lately. I've felt so many things in my heart for so long (Ok well maybe like 3 years) but there is always excuses, and always "funner" things to do. But the one thing that satisfies is doing the will of God. Not that random fun is not God's will, but so many times I look for the things that are so individual or so inclusive, and I miss an opportunity to invite His Kingdom in my life by choosing to "serve" or actually do what scripture says.
I can't explain the great fun I usually have when I do the things I think will be hard or wear me out. Or instead of sitting around complaining about what is wrong.... GET OUT THERE AND DO IT!!! And I don't mean talk about it, just start small. Start with giving a homeless person a dollar and talking to him. Or go to a poorer neighborhood and pray there. Do something, don't let these amazing opportunities pass you by! I still have so much going on that I miss these amazing Kingdom moments, but everyday He is opening my heart and ears to hear the Spirit. I want to be in tune with the Spirit, "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8 Lord, let me be like the wind!!
In "being the change I wish to see in the world", my old friend Nyakim called me recently and we got to be together! I wish to see change in their lives, I wish to see them captivated by Jesus' love and to see them live fully in the purposes God has for them. I wish to see their enemies be put to shame because of the power of God's love in their lives. Thank you Jesus for opening my heart and letting me see some of your heart for kids in our city. Change Omaha into a safe place for children, into a place that all the world knows as a city that honors Jesus.
