This may not make any sense... my head has a lot of stuff rattling around up there... but I felt like I needed to share this!
Today I heard a wonderful quote from an incredible man of God...
I’m not sure why - but I got really fired up… The past is there to reflect upon and learn from… The future is there to dream about - but we are not living in it yet! We are given today!
AND we shouldn’t be wasting the days we do have! We are not called to just float by in life… we are here with a mission...
We are called… called to be a generation that rises up. A generation that isn’t afraid or ashamed of the gospel. A generation that is going to change the way the world sees the church of Jesus Christ. This generation is not one to be trifled with. We are an unstoppable force… a monsoon of love and justice with a passion to see the masses reeducated about who God is, what true love, mercy and forgiveness is…. and what it means to be a devout follower and disciple of Christ.

"We need to live in the present - not the past. Because by living in this day that has never happened, gives us the opportunity to do things that have never been done."

"I am God. I have called you to live right and well.
I have taken responsibility for you, kept you safe.
I have set you among my people to bind them to me,
and provided you as a lighthouse to the nations,
To make a start at bringing people into the open, into light:
opening blind eyes,
releasing prisoners from dungeons,
emptying the dark prisons. I am God. That's my name.
Isaiah 42:6-7 (NLT)

Wow, Kristina, thank you for your words. I'm excited to read more of your blog. It is quite inspiring. Elizabeth really misses you and I can't wait for you to be able to hang out with her again someday...you are truly a role-model for her. Have a great day!
