Passion 2010

I just returned from one of the most amazing conferences.  I attended Passion 2010 and if you don't know what that is I suggest you find out!  :D  Basically it was 22,000 college students and adults coming together to worship Jesus Christ and to be taught by some of the most amazing speakers on this planet.  God really spoke to me this weekend.  He reminded me that it's all about Him...His glory.  It made me ask myself a few questions as well.  Am I living a life worthy of the calling of Christ?  Do I "walk the walk and talk the talk"?  Do people see the Jesus in me before they ever see me at all?  The answer to all of those was a big resounding NO.  Don't get me wrong...I love Jesus.  I am SO thankful that He was willing to suffer and die for me!  He chose me!  He created me!  He has prepared a path for me!  All of those things leave me speechless...most of the time.  I don't want that to sound terrible...I just want to be honest no matter what the cost.  What I do mean is this....It's just so easy to put all of those mind blowing things aside and let your attention be focussed elsewhere.  Especially someone like me.  I am emotional...always.  I long to be around people at all times....etc.  I feel like the Lord is jumping up and down trying to get my attention and I'm too busy doing something else.  My goal after coming home is to spend more time with Him.  I've never been one to have a consistent quiet time.  I hate saying that.  I have known Jesus for 16 years and I've never had a consistent quiet time.  That's so terribly sad.  I have no excuse at all.  I try and I do well for a couple of months then I miss a day...then 2 days...then a week.  Then I can't remember when the last time I dove into the Word was.  It's at this point where He gives me a bit of a reality check.  I know the routine all too well.  I kind of had that this weekend.  I'm not where I need to be at all in my relationship with Christ.  I want to hunger and thirst for Him and His Word like I've never hungered and thirsted for anything in my entire life.  I want my life, my walk, and my talk to be all about Jesus!  I want to worship freely without worrying what other people might think.  Whether that be by dance...or raising my hands...or just being still in His Holy presence...I just want to be real.  Authentic.  :D  I want that to be evident in my life.  I want His presence to radiate from me so brightly that it just about blinds people.  I want to love unconditionally.  I want to become the woman that He has created me to be.  :D  I love my Jesus!  He is absolutely amazing!!!  I'm super excited about the path He has set before me.  I can't wait to see what He's going to do in me and through me this year!  Here I am Lord, send me!
