I play with Fire.

The word "Fire" resounds in my heart. God is calling a people to him that will be on fire. They are unable to hold in the fire it burns in their heart. it consumes them, it purifies them, it lights others on fire, drawing man not to themselves but to God. We are part of something bigger than ourselves. bigger than "callings" and "dreams" "giftings" we are part of a movement of fire that is sweeping the earth. He is calling men and women to "stand on the pyro line" as a woman in CoSpgs. once spoke to me. We always talk about the world getting darker. I personally think that we are getting brighter and that is why the world is getting darker.
God is not putting up with this "living a mediocre life crap," He has drawn a line in the sand a "pyro line" either we step up or we stay back, however we decide-He is moving forward. He will not beg us to come but He will provide opportunity for us to follow, to obey. God once told me "Sarah you can stay here, but I am moving." ouch. but back to the point: I KNOW He didn't call us to hide our fire or to just barely keep it alive. We are to feed it, we are to build it up, we are to allow it to consume us, "for the glory of God and so that others may live." People are drawn to fire. I have noticed that a lot of Christians are feeling a tugging on the inside, they are challenged, the crap that they/we have allowed to settle is being brought up. We cannot compromise, He is calling fire to PURIFY his people. (We always think of purity in terms of sexual purity. But God is calling purity in all areas...) We say "the world is getting darker" He says "I am calling you to be brighter. be consumed by me, allow my fire to consume you." May the word of God be like fire in your bones.
"But if I say, I will not mention or speak any more in his name, his word is in my heart like fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed I cannot." -Jeremiah 20:9
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kingss to the brightness of your dawn." -Isaiah 60:1-3

Curious.

How do you know if you will experience hereditary teeth loss? Is there such a thing?

Ok, so ridiculious thoughts like this were going through my head as I sat through a four hour meeting in church. Seriously. It's amazing how intellectual you become when boredom sets on. Some of my craziest ideas, deep reflections, and um...weird questions have been birthed during a humanities class, a long work meeting, or sadly...church. Like, who invented pajama pants with pockets in them? When are you supposed to use the pockets? and why don't the friend's of the man who wears a hairpiece in the row ahead tell him that when he worships it flops up and down and becomes distracting? or why aren't all books picture books? I don't discriminate between the "picture books" versus the "word-filled books" both are important. I'm all for equal opportunity, both can be viewed as intellectual reading material.
Why did we sing songs in sunday school about "Noah's arc and the 'floody floody'" it sounds like it was quite a traumitizing experience, yet elementary schoolers everywhere are singing versus about Noah washing all the people in the floody floody, and to make it worse...the song is accompanied by hand motions!
I wonder if the man who invented sticky notes covered his walls with them. I know that when I get a fresh stack of sticky notes I love to write tons of them and stick them all over my planner, and books, and the wall. haha, I can imagine his wife coming in everyday, sighing- and then removing them from the coffee table...darn you sticky note man.
anyways those are just a few of the many thoughts that have gone through and are going through my head as I sit in the computer lab and finish the last of my MicroApplications in Business Microsoft Excel spread sheets. oh yeah! I'll pass it this time.
