Courage

So recently I have been thinking about what it means to be a follower of God and how challenging it can be for people to truly embody the calling God has placed on their lives. How scary it must be to truly step into the call God has laid before us? I know that I am terrified of what God has placed on my life. Each time I look at my life and think...REALLY? Really? That is what I need to do...are you sure?

But I realized something tonight as I went for a walk along the lovely seafront of Greystones, Ireland...I never remember fully the times God has asked me to do something and I have done it. Rather it is the times that I have specifically felt God asking me to do something and I have not done it that I remember most. I remember it like it was a kick in the stomach. In those moments I realized that God had asked me to do something and I looked at this calling and turned away. Turned away from a specific call...a call God had placed on my life for that specific time. So, when I reflect on those moments I want nothing more than to be in the center of my call. To be at the spot where GOD can use me most for His purpose, even when I do not know what that may mean or why I need to do this particular thing, I will do it because God has asked me to.

Now I know this is not something I will get right every time but ask long as I can keep trying then I know something important will happen in the long run. Don't know if this makes sense to anyone else or if this even makes sense to me but I was just thinking about it. So, feel free to discuss! :)
