Yesterday at Fixated we did small groups and hung out and talked about some awesome stuff. one subject we talked about was who was our hero, after jesus, and not including the tv show. Today i started thinking about what inspired me to write, draw, create, to pretty much do more then i usually do. What inspires me to go out of my way to really be part of something or do something more then is required. The easy answer to that question would be the Lord. who else to inspire me but the creator of heaven and earth who yearns to fill all of humanity with his grace and peace and joy. but i found it to be too easy an answer. Don't get me wrong, God inspires me to do many things and to go out of my way all the time. His Spirit fills me and pushes me into and out of things that i woulndt know how to handle on my own. But i guess the real question i was asking myself was "What does God want me to do?" where does he want my energies, my time, my talents and efforts to be invested for His kingdom. God can be everywhere at once and can do all things at once, but i'm limited in that regard. what I can do is nothing in the shadow of what He can do.
I'm enjoying the question though. it reminds me that God's definition of my life isnt "Go to church, go to youth, go to events, give offering, repeat." He wants specific things for my life, and has in mind an exact and perfect way for me to follow them. Now, I dont always stick with that plan, but it's always His goal to bring me back to it. Lately I've been wondering what God's will for my life is. what does he want me to do with what he's given me. right now I dont have the answer. but I know that my service to Him is at the core of it, and that as long as I serve God I'll find out pretty soon.
