Im officially a blogger. I am a wishful thinker, a dreamer...Sitting at the table, with a cup of coffee, as the beautiful sun beams through the window, I cant help but to wonder what is the next step in my life. I know that I want to change the world. Yeah..sounds pretty extreme.. but if the task is too large to accomplish, then why does my heart long and beat to bring hope to a world full of insecurity, searching for something more, for anything that will fill the voids in their heart. I have the answer to their problems...but will I be able to share it with everyone..or will they even listen? Will it be on a platform in front of thousands leading lost, broken people into the presence of God? Or will it simply be portraying Gods love to the individual that I come in contact with at Olive Garden..? I dont want my focus to be on a "position"...I dont want to get caught up in making a name for myself, when reality is none of that matters. I pray that I will take advantage of every person that comes into my life...whether its Mr.Bigshot... or Mr. Noone knows his name. The fact is, God is after every one of us, individually. His eyes are fixed on me..on you...on us. I am supposed to be the salt of the earth, a light in the darkness... so, my prayer is that I see purpose in everything, in everyone..through the eyes of Christ. To look at the alcoholic and be reminded that Christ died for him..and He has purpose. To look at the adulterer, the guy addicted to pornography, the homosexual, or the prostitute...and understand that they are worth more than life...Christ gave His life specifically for them. So as I dream and wonder if my dream is even reality..? I realize, Im realizing..Im in the very midst of my dream. My dream is to change the world, right? Well if thats the case...then Lord, I pray that you will use me to the full extent of my calling. Teach me to take advantage and to cease every opportunity. Without a doubt, I look opportunity in the face everyday. May I see,through your eyes...may I handle your children the way you handled them, as you walked the streets of Galilee. You saw purpose, you saw what your Heavenly Father created them as, not as what they were...but who they were destined to be. Use me today, Lord...may I be a light to the new family that I nanny for, to my precious, new friends from Olive Garden...to the stranger that is at the next pump over at the Exxon...in everything, let me not waste another moment. No more Ordinary days. As I follow you,Lord, may my dream become reality..
"Let my light so shine before men that they may see my moral excellence and my praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify my Father Who is in Heaven." Matthew 5:16
About Me
- taylormitchell
- Im a goofy, southern girl, born and raised in the natural state. I absolutely love life. Yes, it is filled with ups and downs and all arounds, but as Ive gotten older, Ive learned to embrace each day. Im a firm believer that God is working in the midst of everything we do, say, every person we come in contact with. Although, it is very hard at times, I try to live a life completely devoted to Christ and what He desires for me and for you. I am not my own. Simple as that. So my day to day cry, is "Lord, take me, break me, mold me, train my hands, my feet, give me your heart, your eyes..so that i may be like you. Thanks for choosing me." He has chosen me..and you. So "about me" in a nut shell... is that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Im far from perfect, but that doesn't keep me from striving to be perfect. I love Jesus...Therefore I cant help but to love people. I want to change the world.
