Fitting in a box
I love getting packages in the mail. It's exciting to see what's inside. I think it's even kind of fun to open boxes from the store. The way they packaged and fit everything in there just so... is interesting. Sometimes, because I like order, I like to see boxes lined up because things are nice and contained. Weird I know.
I guess I like boxes because they contain and organize.
The other day I was thinking of how I just don't fit in a nicely contained box. You can't put me in any "real" category. I guess the only real one is Christian:) other than that I'm pretty much a free bird. I do have certain values that I stand on that will not be changed but I am not a drama queen so I don't make a big deal about things usually. I can get excited about things. You mess with my kids and you'll find out how excited I can get. On another note, even though I home school my kids, I try to be present but not a crutch. I want them to walk on their own someday. To stand against the flow and stand for those who can't stand for themselves. So, how can I teach my kids to stand against the flow if I am trying to fit in a box. It just can't happen. I can't fit in a box. I can't live in box and raise free minds. Minds that are free to believe that the God that created this Earth, that created them is the same God that will save them. Save them! A God that Loves, Heals, Protects, Gives Mercy, Answers Prayers, Teaches, Reaches, Embraces, and a God that will Judge in the end. In the end of this world as we know it we will all stand....not in a box...not against the flow...but stand before God. We all will have many things to account for. I have many things I need forgiveness for. I have read the Living Word and the Living True Word tells me
*John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I believe and know that, although God will judge my sins, Jesus' blood will be over it and I will be showed mercy. Unimaginable mercy! Thankful is a petty word to express how I feel of His grace and Mercy that he gives me day in and day out. I pray I will continue to live "out-of -the-box". I pray my family and especially my kids will rise up to be great Christian leaders where ever God places them in their lives. May God bless them with His eyes...Oh please Jesus, Give them your eye to see what you see....your heart and passion to desire to reach and teach your GREAT news.
