Destiny Killer?
I’m sitting here feeling like I should write something, but I have no idea what to write. I’ve been doing better and better lately. The radiation treatments have been going well. It’s just like getting a 1 minute x-ray every day and there’s only a couple minor side effects. My friend Sam who turned 61 yesterday told me he thought I was looking pretty good when I was over there last night. So I told him he could take me out and buy me dinner if he wanted to, but I don’t kiss on the first date.
So anyways, did you ever feel like if one thing in your life was different, you could do something great? I feel like if I had another leg, I would definitely be out changing the world right now. That’s not something I tell myself to get me through the day. It’s a real feeling I have because I know my God and I know He is in me. When I think about how great He is, and how much He seems to want to move in our world, sometimes I wonder how the whole world isn’t radical for Jesus already. I don’t really know who reads this blog. I know of some people that have told me they do. I’ve had 17 dreams in which my leg grew back, and multiple people that I know have had dreams where my leg has grown back. I believe those are from God and I don’t think he toys with his children. I believe that it will happen, and I believe I have a destiny to change the world. That’s not pride, and I’m not anymore special than you are. I think all people were created with a potential destiny to change the world. When I say potential destiny, I mean that God has amazing things prepared for us to enter into as part of our destiny, but there is one person that can keep you from reaching those things — – you. You’re the only one that can kill your God-given destiny. Don’t let that cause fear in you. Let it give you hope by knowing nothing can stop you and God in you as long as you’re pursuing all He has the best way that you know how.
So here’s my point: Call me crazy, but I believe God has big things for me to do. I also believe my leg will come back, but it would be a shame if I waited for another leg to start being a world-changer. I don’t know really know where to go or what to do. In a post that I made a long time ago, I mentioned how Nehemiah and his crew built the walls by day, and guarded them by night. In the night hour they weren’t responsible for building, but they had to guard what was there. I feel like the entering into springtime thing was real for me. The winter/night has passed. It’s time to start building again with one leg or two.
More tomorrow.
