I stumbled upon a post today that resonated with me so deeply I wanted to yell out loud, "Yes! Yes! YOU GET ME!"
Click here to read about a family with NINE kids following God's call to serve in a 3rd world country.
This is one of the (many) parts of Amy's post that made me sit back and recall the promises God has already made to our family.
Radical faith people. Like Amy, I'm TIRED of being a lukewarm Christian. I'm tired of saying I believe the Bible yet only picking and choosing to live out the easy parts.
Click here to read all of Amy's post. You don't want to miss it. I promise. We've faced the same resentment, the same comments, the same rudeness and downright hurtful things that their family has faced as well. The enemy is attacking us folks, and I fear that the worst is yet to come.
And thanks to Christine at Smiles and Trials for the link.
It was exactly the encouragement I needed today. EXACTLY. Thanks God.

We have been brainwashed our entire lives by the lies of this world.
We are brain washed into thinking we have to be strong enough, good enough and smart enough and do it on our own.
We have been brain washed into thinking it's all about us.
We have been brainwashed into believing that money = security.
We have been brain washed that we can ‘control’ our lives and our futures if we make the right plans.
All lies.
Because the truth is, no matter who you are and how much money you have in your savings account or what plans you have put into place for your future- one thing you will never have control over in this life- is death.
You and I, we will die one day and there is nothing we can do to change or control that. Whether it be tomorrow in a car accident, 5 years from now from cancer or 15 years from now serving the Lord in a 3rd world country- when God says our time is over- it's over.
