Learning

I’m learning more and more every day what it is to follow Christ. and i mean really follow Him. its hard. I’m the kind of person who likes to be involved in things.  I’ve always pictured Christ calling me to this big huge thing and just Him changing the world through me. but i’ve also learned this….i’m not ready for that. God is equipping me now for something later on. this past year i completely ignored God’s calling on my life. Playing softball may not seem like a big deal but when its what God calls me to do and I ignore that, its huge. thats exactly what i did this past year. So i was sitting today thinking and God was knocking on my heart  saying shay you need to play softball. I’ve completely wasted God’s time and mine this past year. we live in a world that is just crying out for someone like Christ and i completely missed it! The more i think about it the more frustrated i get. God blessed me with the talent to play softball and i completely wasted it. I didn’t used it to glorify Him. and thats my purpose on this earth; is to bring glory to my God. That softball field is my mission field. I can’t make up for time lost but i’m not going to dwell on the past i’m looking forward to what God has for me this year…whatever it is, its gonna be awesome.
