Aiden...

Waking up this morning early, I looked out my window to a beautiful sunrise over the water that is seen from bedroom window (I know I am spoiled)! God has truly blessed me with an amazing place to live...the water reminds me of renewal and the cleansing of all the pain and suffering I have been trudging through for the past couple of weeks. It reminded me of the depths of His love for me, His willingness to suffer for me, and His willingness to let me be a small child that splashes about in the pool for a while and then realizes that the Father knows best! :)

After getting ready I went to walk into town and realized that out my window on Bray Head (which is a natural walking path from one village to the next) was experiencing difficulties with smoke ventilation, a.k.a. It was on FIRE! Throughout the day it just got worse and no one seems to be doing anything about it...the flames have engulfed the majority of one side of the mountain and potentially a second. The flames are out of control! This made me stop and think...what if Christians lived the same way this fire was. As in living to spread the word of God, living to be the light to the world (the fire would have been seen by two villages and over 40,000 people), what if Christians didn't care what other people thought? What if we let our lives be so consumed with God that other people would just stop and stare? (Now that might be weird at times but how incredibly COOL!!!)

What if we lived a life for God?
