Going Big.

I'd just like to say that waking up late just drastically changed my day. Arg..

But, on a less angry note, the devotions comes from Lucas 7: 11-23. I personally only read from 11-17 because I realize that it's better if I read in smaller chuncks. I tend to actually remember it.

Resucita a un joven de Naín
    Talks about when Jesus went to a city and brought a child back to life. This child was all his mother had left in this world (mas o menos). She was a viuda (widow) that lived with her son, but wasn't entirely alone. From the message, it says that everybody and their mama was there with her as the procession went by. And at the end of the day, Jesus' fame spreads "por toda Judea y sus alrededores"/ "throughout Judea and the surrounding country".

    Talk about doing something big.

Yea. Let's talk about this.

     Ever since I was small in the United States, I have always said that I'd become the president of the US. I mean, since I can remember there are two things that I've outwordly confessed: 1) That I will be prez. of the U.S and 2) that I wanted to be a lawyer. Needless to say, I've been sidetracked from both "dreams" so to speak because I seem to not be able to stick to one thing for a long period of time. I haven't done much to reach either goal anytime soon (not that they are short term goals, by no means).

   The thing about Jesus is that He embodied His vision for the world; He was the change He wanted to see in this life by doing what He was called to do. There is no doubt in my mind that when Jesus woke up everyday, He set out to live out the calling, not just talk about it. To be who He determined to be.

   I don't know about you all, but it does sound like a pretty big deal. But one thing I am 100% sure of is that the God that placed me where I am today, did not commit a boo-boo and that my days do have a purpose. I, myself, may not always walk in that purpose, but at the end of the day, God's will is accomplished. Punto.

So I'm out. Enjoy your day, live with purpose and let God show you the way. Deuces

With much love, peace and elbow grease,
