Going to the zoo today, the water park on Friday, Warped Tour on Monday, and The Dark Knight comes out the 18th. Not to mention last week I got to blow stuff up. July is turning out to be quite an exciting month.
I’ve been listening to a ton of new music—Search The City, Burden of a Day, and A Skylit Drive have all been playing a lot on my iTunes lately.
I am currently feeling like an overinflated balloon, flying higher and higher, and am hoping that God gives me an outlet for all the love and vision he’s shooting me up with or I will soon explode—I sometimes feel like there is too much God for me to handle, this is of course true in the sense that He is infinite and I am certainly not, but it blows my mind that it is possible to wake up every morning for the rest of my life and be even more in love with Jesus than I was the day before. It is completely impossible for this to be true if I live to be 80, there is no way a human being can contain that much love, but “with God all things are possible (Mt 19:26).”
A few things God is working me through, around, in, and so on:
- What if we believed—as in had no doubt—in Matthew 19:26, Matthew 17:20, John 14:14, and Philippians 4:13?
- The Christian church in the time of Paul and Peter and John and such apostles (that wrote parts of scripture, brought thousands of people to know Jesus Christ, did miracles, spoke with total confidence and authority, et cetera…Acts 2:38-43) was certainly a smaller number of people than today. What if the church today took Christianity as seriously as the apostles did? If less than twenty people did what scripture and history tells us, why shouldn’t we expect even more?
- Sometimes we pray and pray and pray for something; for God to make our hearts like his, for his will to be revealed to us, and so on. And despite constant prayer and earnest seeking of God nothing changes…this might be because God has already made our hearts like his, and we just have to do.
