Passion

I just spent the last two and a half (or three) hours talking about God. My mouth is dry from my conversations with the two individual people I spoke with. I love that! I realized my passion really is in the Lord. I was talking with someone I hardly know about what a blessing the last six months have been for me to be completely absorbed in God's Word. The more I think about it the more I realize what a privilege it has truly been to take nine months of my life and study the Bible like I never have before. Less than 10% of Christians actually take the time to study the Bible, let alone read it. I have been able to take the opportunity that many people around the world will never get in their lifetime. How blessed am I! Honestly, God makes me come alive. He really is Life - he is the Creator of life and all things good. I can't picture where I would be if I had not been found by him and transformed through his amazing grace.
The other conversation I had involved just thinking about how other people miss out on this grace. I don't know why one wouldn't agree to this crazy adventure called life with the Author of it all. It's amazing how God just knits stories together; it's like a puzzle when people meet and find out what piece of the puzzle they are.
I don't know, for as hard as life seems sometimes, it's so wonderful. I'm really enjoying each part of it - the falling down, standing back up, learning lessons, making friends, finding out who you are... It's like there is always something new to experience.
