the life we live is one of indescrible opportunity, however; it can only be that if you grab hold of it and utilize it. i guess that is what i am learning. this past week we had a week of evangelism. we helped out with an organization and went down to a town nearby it was a week comparable to a "spring break" or holiday for the graduating students. we got to take part in making there week be the most safe but yet enjoyable experience. we created a dance party and had consecutive nights of running around/jumping up and down singing and smiles. i think i am still recovering from the dancing it was a blast and play my song i might just run the until the beat stops. . . :]however admist it all we created relationships and over time were able to open up and pour out God onto the students, it was not forced or awkward it just happened. life can work like that, God works like that, you dont expect it and then it flows and goes so smoothly and the words come and form and God rocks up.

i feel that the life what we live and the world could be explained in picture you see i feel that people are like grass, grass is green and similar and it needs to be tended to and taken care of. grass is like the world you try to hard to be the same to be like everyone else you dont want to have any imperfections or flaws and you just desire to please and stay fresh. Then there are trees; trees stand firm and stand out admist a yard full of grass, they grow and get big and send out protection, providing shade on a sunny day. the world needs trees, needs people that stand out of the crowd that arent afraid to grow and work to be different.
so i challenge you, even if its easier to be grass, do what you can to be a tree, to standout for christ jesus, to plant your roots and fly, to grow and be all God has.

  1. Thank you Heidi for another wonderful post. The grass/tree analogy is so very true. We tend to want to blend in with everyone around us. Dare to be different for our Saviour!! Will be praying for you as you prepare for your trip to Africa. Love, Mrs. Balcer
