Things are changing in my life. I am extraordinarily excited. I don't want to sleep or rest or waste any time.
I am so sickened by this default plan that has been laid out for my life by...who? Society? Family? Definitely not God. You know the plan....graduate high school, then college, then get married/get a good job, have a family in the suburbs...ew. That's sounds so far off from what God wants from my life. It seems so wrong, selfish. It disgusts me.
I'm sure college is great for some people, and is part of God's plan for their lives. And I am sure marriage is part of God's plan for some people. But, it's OKAY not to go to college, and I dunno....go to Romania, Calcutta, Chicago, Aurora! And, it's ALRIGHT to live a life of celibacy. In "The Irresistible Revolution" a man tells the author that "We can live without sex, but we cannot live without love, and God is love." How can someone not be in complete awe by a God like that...it is beautiful. GOD IS LOVE.
I don't want to conform to this world any longer. I want to be God's hands, feet, ears. I want to live like Jesus. I want to see heaven on earth. Live. Suck the marrow out of life.
I need an uncompromising commitment to Jesus' teachings. I need a lifestyle that proclaims what is means to be a follower of Jesus in the twenty-first century.
