What would this look like?

"People aren't confused by the gospel, they're confused by us.
Jesus is the only way to God but we are not the only way to Jesus.
This world doesn't need my tie, my hoodie, my denomination, or my translation of the bible, they just need Jesus.
We can be passionate about what we believe but we can't strap ourselves to the gospel cause we're slowing it down.
Jesus is going to save the world, but maybe, the best thing we can do is just get out of the way." - Casting Crowns

From track 1 of their new album this caught my attention. I've been trying to wrap my pea brain around it for a few weeks, trying to figure out what this would look like in my life - Getting out of the way of the gospel.

Revelation 22; 18 - 19 comes to mind; ...if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

Your thoughts?

It's Okay!

Sorry it has been so long since posting. My new job has me very busy. I have been in Dallas for a week and Raleigh N.C. for two weeks, as well as worked the Smoothie King Booth on three Saturdays. Never a dull moment. Praise the Lord...all is well and He continues to provide what I need.

I just wanted too to remind myself that...

It's okay to think. It's okay to stop and think. It's okay to stop for a few minutes, be still, quite, and think.

Think about where I am and what God is trying to teach me from this (what ever it may be). Think about how God can be glorified from this situation and where I think He wants me to go from here.

I don't have to be running my trap all the time. I don't have to be listening to the radio or TV. I don't have to be driving to and from.

It's okay to think.
