Purpose

Everyone longs for purpose right?

Now more than ever before I understand how real Hell is. I've always been aware of how real Heaven is but I haven't given Hell much thought. You know what scares me most about Hell? It's not the constant burning, the gnashing of teeth, or the worms that never die. It's being in a place with out the presence of God. Separated from Him. This world can be bad sometimes but the presence of the Lord is still here and the Holy Spirit is living inside of His people. Can you imagine being here after the Lord comes and takes His people with Him?

These thoughts have resulted in a lot of great conversations at the Ginn place. And loss of sleep.

I used to be a little embarrassed when my Paw-Paw had to make sure everyone we knew, knew the Lord and was in church. I see SO clearly now my Paw-Paw's heart. I take back the embarrassment.

Hell is real. I can't stand the thought of the ones I love most being left here after Jesus takes His people home. I can't imagine the hurt they would feel knowing that I knew Jesus and didn't share that with them.

I am very worried about the South. I think too many people that fill up church pews on Sunday won't have their names in the Book. They think it's there but their lives have no evidence of the Savior living in them. So scary. This is a major problem and something has to change.

No longer will I be apathetic.
I will live intentionally.
I don't care if people think I'm "too passionate".
I rather preach this til I die then think that I didn't use all that God had given me to advance His kingdom.

On Sunday, September 30th, my husband put his yes on the table. I am so fired up. So amazed at what God is doing in the people around me. I am so humbled that God is letting me be a part of His story. Most days I am exhausted. The best kind of exhausted in the world. Exhausted because I've given all I have. Made the most of every opportunity. I've been prayed up. I've been intentional. I've been pouring all I have to see Him be glorified. Best feeling in the world. I've gotten some strange looks. I'm sure not many understand but    I    do    not   care   anymore.

It is so wonderful to know you are in fact where God wants you. God has placed certain folks in your life for particular reasons. God is making your "ministry" clear. Ahhhh. So good. So, so good.

Greater things are yet to come, greater things are still to be done in this city.

I wish I could be in staff meeting with some people I love very much. I wish they were here or I was there to share this excitement. Love you Elevate <3 p="p">
