i like fun!!! im up for enjoying life...im up for being a different christian ....im up for salt lots of it....im up for Jesus..im up for it all!
I think the best thing about my SHAPE that i have now come to realise and appreciate is that God made sure that someone was there to show people that its fun being a follower of christ.To say "i went to church on sunday" with enthusiasm rather than dread. To dress, walk, and talk like a christian with a difference, not hold my head low, and struggle through life, and forever saying "well maybe God is testing my faith........again" I didnt want to be that person.I wanted to be the "coolest christian" you can find!! I want to show people that loving God requires only a simple willing choice.That one choice takes you far...i didnt want to be a boring, tied down, holier than thou dutiful christian....i wanted to mingle...with anyone and anything if it means letting them see the Lord i serve is all about enjoying life.I didnt want to walk around with a sign on my head saying " follower of Jesus, beware" or "only christians welcome"
The more i think about this the more I am convinced that I was created to break all inhibitions created by man that stops people from enjoying life in christ. I despise the stereotypes of christianity " quiet, skirt and hatwearing, pearl lacing,home by 6pm,dont talk to strangers, tie your hair in a ponytail, hymn singing etc..etc.. kinda stereotypes" I want people to have a great laugh with me, listening to hip hop, reggae, country music(yes you heard me Tali) over a nice glass of wine and then fall of their chairs when i start talking about the God i serve!!
I want to serve God as I do my family and friends, as my boss at work, as my team, but as my first priority with everything I got.... Like a hot wire not a dead battery...i dont want to just get by...i want to LIVE!!! I want to touch a black and white world and see colour spread throughout the land...what can i say? Im a rebel with a cause.....and im infectious!
Love the Lord and Love others.
We are the difference, we are the salt, we are the light, we are ambassadors of Christ! We ought to tell the world that loving God is the new fashion trend, its the latest in technology, its the most popular hangout, its a glass of wine, its your best meal, its your best night out, its your favourite song, your favourite memory, its your best escape, its your best quiet time, its your best!!!!!!
like the song goes "Onward Christian soldiers" tho i imagine them all in different coloured uniforms :p
