So, a couple days ago, I was sooo ready to write a blog. But now, I forget what I was going to blog about and I'm just gonna wing it... sorry! I bet the other one would have been pretty good too. Oh wait, I remember.
^Ignore.
SO, after church on Sunday, Storm, Mr. Belford (our Ornithology teacher) and myself had a little chat. The chat itself isn't exactly relevant, but when I figured out after wards. Well, I guess it was during. Any-who, we were talking about how you get this feeling when God is prompting you to do something. It's like, you don't know how to, and you might not think that you should, but you just some how know that it's what you should do--and if like some people, have to do.
Now, this reminds me of the river of life that flows out of people (ya know, that metaphor used in the bible). But, it's like this river sweeps up other people. It spreads as more people follow that 'God Instinct' that they get, which has the catalyst of other people following it.. and letting it flow. It's so complicated, and yet immensely simple if people let it be. That river that flows out of you can grow and grow... it can turn into a lake, a sea, an entire ocean.
I think this was in my dad's message on Sunday too, but some people feel like they've been ripped off when they do a good deed and other people profit. My dad used the specific example of a man that converted someone, then the convert goes out and save like an entire community. The original dude is all like 'Wait, God, what about me? I've been with you since I was bloody nine! I only got to save one person?' But he's really missing the point. He DID save all those people, everyone that was saved before him had a hand in saving those people... it's like the river. It can be a river, yeah, but it keeps growing.
It's kind of cool. Someday, we'll all be living in it...
