Leap of Faith

When I woke this morning, I clearly made the decision to stay indoors for the day. Do you know what that’s done to me? I think I’m going crazy! I’ve cleaned the house about 5 times and it still looks messy. I’ve bathed the dogs. I’ve….I’ve….I’ve done absolutely nothing meaningful! It’s no wonder I was brought to insanity during those 3 months. I am not doing this again. I repeat; I will NOT do this again!

I received an email from a friend (back in Japan). I’ve often thought about him and have always hoped for the best. He’s a “firefighter” for the Navy! Isn’t that awesome! They constantly have students; but from what I remember it slows done in the summer months. Well I shouldn’t say it slows down but because of the heat they have to close shop much early then the norm. He so happened to take me and friend of mine on a tour there and man did I think it was awesome! I’m not sure about her but I do find a little bit of oooohhh’s and ahhhh’s in other peoples choices of careers.

Now where was I going with this? Oh, okay, so he let me know that he has decided to take a more spiritual road. Hallelujah! Praise GOD!!! “Firefighter” figures that the only way to find a girl/woman with morals is to take that route. I say good from him. He said and I quote (in his exact words);

As far as the whole "settle" thing, I think that I need to look more inside
myself, on a spiritual level and see where im headed. I have been doing that
lately and life has been somewhat brighter. Without the pressure of being in
a church or becoming a member of a religious group or a cult...kidding, I
have found that the road to peace and prosperity is within me. Not in who I
date, how much money I have or how much material crap that I can possess
before I die- I knew it all along but I have finally created a path for
myself without any interference from any outside sources.

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him" (1 John 2:15).

Has anyone watched “Fireproof”? Man that is a very powerful movie. There is so much to learn from that movie alone. The messages in there are strong! Anyway, I’m praying that in due time there will be a lasting devotion to Christ in his life.
I’m not sure if he keeps up to date with this, so I’d rather not use his name until I get the okay. I do ask that everyone hold this fireman in prayer. I’m sure Satan isn’t going to be happy with this and is planning on doing what he can to get the “fireman” back.

I know many of us in our lives have said, “I’m not ready...” but what if you don’t get the chance to be on your death bed? Are you willing to wait? You don’t have to answer to me, but perhaps take a moment and truly think about it. Will you have your death bed? It’s never too late to accept Christ in your heart now...he forgives and loves us more than we could ever imagine.
