Jokes on me

      Have you ever played a organized sport?  Any sport at all.  Ranging from Soccer to Rugby, or anything you can really think of, well, besides Cricket, that's a weird one.  But back to the sport thing.  In just about every sport that I've ever heard of, there's always some kind of half time; 7th inning stretch, end of the period, changing of sides, pit stop, line change, next round, and the like...  At this point in the game, you get a minute.  Could be heading back into the locker room with the whole team to hear the coach give some speech on how "we need to push through, fight, play as a team..." or could be going back to your own corner just to get a swig of water and a pat on the back.  But after only a few minutes, you're back into it feeling ready to go once again.  You know more then you did at the beginning of the game, you know how the opponent plays, you know how to use his own moves against him... Maybe that he can only dribble with his right hand, or that his first pitch is generally a ball, or that the team tries to push in on the right side every time.  You know how to counteract this, and you're ready for more.  Its the reset of the game.  It can even be a game changer.  That few minutes of rest can make all the difference in a game.
    That's where I am now.
     Its roughly half way through the DTS, things are getting harder no doubt, but that just means I'm forced to grow more.  I understand, now, what we do and why we do it.  But I'm so ready for more.  Last week we went back to Chinchilla, Its the place we went to the first weekend being in Australia, and this time we went without and electronics.  A pretty basic thing to give up, but man was it awesome.  We talked on Spiritual Warfare, and even though it was pretty basic stuff, it was deep and the Holy Spirit was moving in me in deep ways.  Some of it, I can't really explain, or, if I tried to, you would probably think I was a crazy person.  But at the end of the day, what I do know, is that the Bible is absolute truth and Jesus Loves me so much that he died for me.
    I've come to a point where I'm ready to start moving.  Ready to start making a difference, not only in my life, but in others lives.  In the lives of the lost.  I had a huge realization just the other day that I will have to give up things to follow God, everything in fact.  That might include my home.  I'm not saying that I'm called to missions, but I found that I have to be willing to lay down these things.  And God knows, I am willing. I took some time in the "locker room" and I'm ready.  I'm ready for the second half.  I'm refreshed and know how the game is played.  I'm ready to jump out in the name of Christ and fight the fight, finish the race, and keep the faith.
       Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who ill go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
     Put me in Coach.  I'm ready.



Chained to him,

Jeremy
