I was reading Nan's zanga page earlier today and she had this thing written about what she wanted people to say about her if she died; her reply was awe inspiring and made me want to delve into the Word more. Well, when I do finally pass from this life I want people to say "Christy was a woman who sought the Lord. She strove to learn and share the love of Christ. Through humor and quiet compassion, pointed people towards the cross." that's it, simple and to the point. But, would everyone I know say that? Because that's how it should be. Whether they are Christians or not, they should say the exact same thing about my life.
Tonight's BCM message really stirred that feeling in me. In Acts 4:23-31, Peter and John had their life threatened. If that happened to me, I'd be running and retreating away. Yet, those men prayed scripture and asked the Lord to allow them to continue speaking the Truth with Boldness. While sitting there I wrote that: "I want to be a bold woman proclaiming Jesus to the Lost world around me, not just today but my while life." We have so many opportunities to proclaim Jesus on our campus' and with friends but, I for one, am terrified to do this. Jesus, please give me the courage to spread your truth throughout this world, one step at a time.
