An Exciting Adventure!



Pretend for a moment that you're at the movies... The movie you're seeing is full of excitement and suspense. Scene after scene you're on the edge of your seat excited to see what's going to happen next! The person next to you has eaten all of your popcorn and you don't even notice because you're so focused on what's happening in the movie (even if you did notice you wouldn't care because this movie is just so dang good). Your eyes are wide open and you won't dare let yourself blink in fear of missing something great! This is what our walk with God should look like.

A lot of people seem to think being a Christian is a total snooze fest. They just see Christians as living a boring life and having to abide by a bunch of rules. But, friends, let me tell you....when you're actively pursuing God, your life will be anything but boring! Serving the Creator of the universe is an exciting adventure! All you have to do is look around at His creation to see that He's not a boring God. God could have created only one type of fish and one type of bird, but instead He created THOUSANDS of different kinds of fish and THOUSANDS of different kinds of birds! 

After you get saved, don't let that be the end. You'll miss out on so much! Once we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, that's just the beginning. Now God can start using us! God has so many great things in store for His children. I don't want to just settle....I want to experience ALL the Lord has for me! I believe God has things in store for me that are so much greater than I could ever even imagine for myself. It keeps me on the edge of my seat ready to see what's next! Every morning when I wake up I ask the Lord to use me in big ways that day. Getting to be a part of God's work is such an amazing and exciting adventure that I don't want to miss out on! And He doesn't want us to miss out on it either!
