Hi.
So at this point the new name has been up for 2 hours and i've already received messages and comments with people delicately asking "What are you smoking and what can I do to help?" Or something related thereof.
I assure I am not literally dying, I'm quite well, in fact God wont let me die. lol Not that I've tried it, but I have too much left to do. And it's cool cause I think Jesus will come back before I die anyway....
So yea... my blog name. I'll get there, I promise.
In a walk with Christ we are called to die to ourselves daily. To give up everything we have. (Mt 10:37-39) What I've discovered is that it takes a while to die the first time. It takes a while to be honest without ourselves and dig things out to put them at our Saviors feet.
There comes a point where you not only say "God here I am"
But you say "God here is my heart, here are my weaknesses and my strengths, take it, make it yours, no matter how much it hurts."
You can see the change....
This is my deathbed
I lie here alone
When I close my eyes tonight
I know I'll be home
This is my deathbed.
The death of fear.
The death of pride
The death of jealousy
The death of complacency
You are not alone.
You are never alone. (John 16:32)
So the moral of this story is simple.
Get on your deathbed.
Quit crawling off the altar.
Stop running from your fears and face them.
This is news to some. But God loves you.
Alot.
Seriously.
Alot.
There are no words for it,
just trust me, and embrace it. :-)
Life is too short to waste time being afraid
Life is too short to waste time living for yourself.
That road is easy, but it is also empty.
But you already knew that.
So go.
Fix it.
Take whatevers dragging you down and kill it.
Take it out behind the woodshed and show it who's boss.
The rest of this blog will be here when you get back.

All better?
Seriously. Get off the computer and go talk to yo Daddy. Not that Daddy.
Your Abba.
The straight narrow is sometimes difficult to find I know. But you have a guide.
(2 Samuel 22:29)
Ok now that we got that over with. Here's where I get all prophetic.
We (as in my target audience within my generation) are a broken generation.
At least 90% of my friends come from broken homes.
All of us have faced trials, faced the whole world tearing itself apart because it comes down to affecting each and every person in a way that breaks their hearts. But also fills them with a determination.
What happens when you get an ENTIRE GENERATION that is broken and wants nothing more than to FIX EVERYTHING that they have had to face?
REVOLUTION.
A revolution without music is a revolution not worth having.
God, the conductor, is tapping his baton on the music stand, the music has not even begun, he is just getting our attention, setting the rhythm for the Orchestra of Eternity.
The next generation will be the last, this generation is the leaders of the last gneration. Some of you who read this will not see death before you see the Son of God come across the sky.
Some of you will be great leaders.
Great teachers.
Pillars of the faith in your families and workplaces.
Some of you will be missionaries.
Some of you will be martyrs.
The Final Concerto is starting. God is moving, he is getting our attention, and soon.
The music starts.
You are in that orchestra, are you ready to play your part?

This ones my favorite... haha
You are truly blessed with amazing words from God... words that never ceise to touch my heart. So thank you for sharing them.
This one really spoke to me... not because it refers to our oh so dearly loved movie "V"... but because it speaks directly to me! Everything you described of being afraid to truly die is me. I'm not saying that this blog as completely changed my ways.... but thank you for showing me what i've been looking for for a really long time... thanks for pointing out where it is that i've been failing. Thanks for showing me to my deathbed... =o)
