think think think...

its probs what i'll be doing most of this summer, thinking that is.  i have an abundance of free time thus far. and i've been thinking. what does God want to do with me?  how is my life going to weave into his tapestry of life?


its a rare thought really, what God wants to do with me.  usually its "what do i want to do?" or "what interests me today?"  but i feel like... if i do what God wants me to do, ill end up enjoying my life much more.


God has placed several passions into my life.  i really want to expose the injustice of the world.  sure saving puppies is great, but are there not more pressing matters at hand?!  young girls are sold into sex slavery.  other young ones take their lives.  and still more are starving and without shelter.  should we not take care of God's finest creation?  honestly, how many people truly give thought to others' needs everyday?  are we not consumed with our own thoughts on self-improvement.


if we focus on fixing human brokeness, won't other things be fixed as things fall into place?


of course, most people refuse to solve their brokeness.  they rush to sex, money, drugs..etc. when all they really need is Jesus.  i know i know, its the same overused line "run to Jesus and all your problems will be solved" kind of deal.  its the truth though. and the sooner you acknowledge, the sooner you can find that your life is being mended.


of course, it doesn't all get solved in a second.  God isn't a genie and His main purpose isn't to make your life perfect in a snap.  no, He is interested in a much bigger plan for you. it involves healing you. and bringing you closer to Him.  through this healing will come more scratches, bruises and maybe a couple broken bones, but aren't bones stronger when they heal?


anyway.  God has a purpose for you.  i am trying to figure out what His purpose for me is.


i figure it has something to do with photography and writing.  i love them.  a picture is worth a thousand words right? so if i could expose how horrid, are vile living conditions are for human beings, maybe things can start changing.  i know there are people currently working on this right now.  but i feel like things aren't reaching the masses.  i want to reach the masses.  i want to help.  God wants me to help, or at least i think.


i'm praying He shows me how to help, that He opens my eyes and my ears to see and hear how i can be used in His great plan.


and i hope you do the same.
