Christmas.

our 12 day stint in arizona is winding down. 2 days and i'll be in kansas city. 
time with the family has been pretty good. we have of course done every touristy thing there is within a 100 mile radius of my parents town. met their friends. gone on bike rides. wondered around. 
i've had a dream every night we have been here. not normal for me. i have written some of them down. not sure how significant they are but i have tried to be disciplined about writing them down. keep em' coming. 

everything being an argument when it comes to God is getting old. 
it has convicted me though. i realize that i mostly just talk about all this stuff i "believe" but i am not actually doing most of it.  
it's messing me up that i can just walk by a blind person or a person in a wheel chair and not pray for them when the night before I'm arguing that God still wants to heal people and wants to use us.."willing vessels". i've decided that i am finished talking until some of what i talk about starts to actually play out in my life. i don't want to just sit around with my christian friends and talk about how awesome Jesus is and then walk outside and not tell people who are dying and need Him. I want the message of Jesus and is power displayed thru the Holy Spirit to get out on the streets. That's what Jesus did. I am incredibly grateful for what He is doing in me and I am more in love with Jesus then ever before. He's stirring me up. I want his compassion. 

Thank you Father for sending your Son to save the world. Jesus is a big deal.
