Then you will shine among them

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed -- not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence -- continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and purse, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from you faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

Phillipians 2:12-18

Welcome & kudos to you for checking out the blog.

So here's the thing friends..

There's supposed to be something different about us. As Christians, we're not supposed to be like the rest of the world. We're supposed to stand out and shine brighter, "like stars in the sky." Right now, some of you might not know what that means for your life. Yeah, okay, I'm going to shine like a star... ?!? It's okay, you're not alone!! In fact, that's the whole point of this blog. I want to help you shine brighter. I want to give you every opportunity to grow & become the person God created you to be, the very best of who you are, to fulfill your fullest and most wonderful potential. I can see that in all of you... I can see that God is calling you to so much more. You just have to let Him work in you. I say "just" but really that involves giving up everything... letting Him have full & complete control... of you... of your entire life... of everything you have ever and will ever want... Yeah, you just have to let Him... piece of cake right?!

But if I can help you get even just a step closer or push you to live out your faith in even the smallest way, then all this will have been worth it. So I'll spend hours creating a blog, writing a newsletter, coordinating events, & planning activities, all with the hope that YOU will make it worth it. God can & will do wonderful things in you, this I know... You just have to let Him. I'll help, that is my promise to you. I'll do whatever I possibly can... all I'm asking is that you meet me halfway.
