What If?

… So much to do, so little time. Running causes my thoughts to flow. WHAT IF. What if I want to live for Christ Radically. What if I want to forget about necessities and follow Christ completely, but I’m scared. What If I hang onto way too much. What if I want to live, helping those in need. What if I want to take a step and live like Shane Claiborne did in the book Irresistible Revolution. What if I want to climb Everest, kayak the Bowron Lakes, Ski/snowboard on mount hood, backpack Europe, hike Halfdome, rock climb Halfdome, play piano, play guitar, play harp, run marathons, bike across the united states, Hike the west coast, sleep in hammocks, ride street bikes, ride dirt bikes, jetski, live in a grass hut for a while, know what it is like to not own a penny, design my own clothes, look stunning, have a six pack, crochet an intricate picture of something, longboard, rock climb, own an official crocheted hat business, colporteur, lead a colporteur group, be a dean at UCA, be a student missionary, be a missionary, go to Nepal, return to Africa, road trip all over with friends, backpack Lost Coast, be done with school. What if I want to solve world hunger, end homeless issues, teach people about Jesus. What if I want to teach like Jesus, lead like Jesus, Follow like Jesus, act like Jesus, heal like Jesus, hold myself like Jesus, breathe like Jesus, Be utterly selfless. What if I want stay single for the rest of my life, or get married. What if I want to be Jesus to the world, drop out of college and be a Bible Worker for the rest of my life. What if I want to go to a mountain top and proclaim that Jesus is Lord. What if I want to be lowly and go unnoticed. What if I want to make a difference, and go down in history as being Christ-like. The list proceeds, but tonight I will stick to Proverbs 3:5,6.
