In a boat.

I was talking with my mom today, and she said something so good. I wanted to blog it out for you.
I was sharing with her, that I feel overwhelmed by how many people don't know God, or don't even want to know about Him.
People that live everyday thinking that He isn't a part of every moment. I read in 2 peter, I think about false teachers, and came across this verse ( 2nd peter chapter 2 verse 7) "...and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked ( for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day, by seeing, and hearing their lawless deeds)-" Lot lived in a place called Sodum and Gamora ( didn't spell that right...ha) there was so much wickedness there.
When I read those lines, I felt like me and Lot had a lot in common. That everyday when I wake up in the world, I live among people that don't know God, and live according to their own lust and desires. As I watch day to day, it does begin to really discourage me. Its overwhelming, not knowing where or how to start with all that is happening around me.

My mom said it like this:

" Its like you are in a boat, and the whole world is drowning, and you are trying to help them get into the boat, and they keep saying, " No, its fine, I don't know how to swim, but its fine." Its like that everyday. You bush shoulders with people everyday, that are headed for hell, and don't have a clue, or even want to know. I don't mean to sound dark by saying hell, its just a destination that people don't know they are headed to. ha. I love that verse about, how there is not enough workers for the field. I can feel like that at times as well. Imaging waking up everyday at 4am, to work huge acer, upon acer of land...with only a few people and so many hours daylight. It would feel exhausting, and a bit over the top.

With all that said. That is why Jesus writes over and over, how we are not to loose hope, and to TRUST in Him. That He does the work, and remember that we ARE overcomers through Christ. That it is not impossible with Him. So I have decided that everyday I am going to wake up trusting God to get the work done through me. Amen!

Blog Update:
I have thought that soon I will start writing about awesome stories, and testimonies that have happened these last couple years. How God has been awesome, and used people all over to take me places, and to share the gospel. I want to start writing a Grateful journal. I have so many things to be grateful for, that God has done in my life. I'll keep you updated, and try to start that soon.

You are loved by God!
