One of my biggest fears are fears of the unknown. What will happen if I tell this person about God? What will they think of me? Will they still want to be my friend? Lately the Lord has been showing me that whatever happens rejoice because I am participating in the sufferings of Christ and there are going to be riches beyond belief in Heaven. No more sorrow, no more fears, no more pain. But I have a job to do on Earth, and I can't be sad and praise God at the same time. It just doesn't work. I believe with full confidence that God gave me the spiritual gifts of writing, speaking, singing and encouraging. So why waste time being sad and throwing pity parties when someone else needs God?
I want to be a history changer. I want to make a difference in this world and glorify the kingdom of God. I don't want to bring others down but instead I want to lift them up in Christ's Love that He showers on me every waking moment. We all need to stick together as the Church of Christ because ultimately our nation needs it more then ever. God created me for a reason, one with goals and dreams and ultimate love for Him and others. In Psalm 38:9 the Psalmist says "All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you." We are made to follow God. Are you ready to take on the challenge with me and thousands of others around the nations? You're never alone because God is guiding us through it. He knows how hard it might be to follow God, but many times He offers to give you rest and ultimate peace and happiness. So I ask you: What are your goals? Are you ready to surrender them over to God and let Him be in control of your life? <3

Lately I've been wanting to CHANGE THE WORLD. Everything you wrote here Julia, is from God. It's speaking to me more than you know. You have a God given gift. I am so happy that you are using it to bring glory to Him!
Julia, I too want to be a history changer. Why be in this self pity when I KNOW there are others who need to hear about His love? It's selfish isn't it. You're right: we can't be sad, and at the same time Praise God. Nothing else is going to matter when we die except how we lived our lives and what we did for Christ.
College will not matter. Only what we did to further His Kingdom will.
Of course, I know He wants us to do our best if we do attend college, and other things, but it's been laid on my heart that the ultimate ending of our life is going to determine a lot.
Yes, our nation is dying out there. With no care whatsoever for God and His ways. Why I feel like a total hypocrite? Well, He knows. But still, I hate going over the same mountains over and over and over again. I want to make a difference.I want to change the world. I am blessed I have a sister in Christ Julia who wants to do the same. Together, with the many more who feel this way...WILL CHANGE THE WORLD for our Lord Jesus Christ.
