De-cluttering

If the future is dominated by the coming again of Jesus, there's little room left on the screen for projecting our anxieties and fantasies.  It takes the clutter out of our lives!!! 

I was on a walk listening to this sermon when DJ got to this part. Oh my gosh how much of my brain has been cluttered by the future, my anxieties and my fantasies!! I paused the sermon and just prayed for a de-cluttering, for a confidence in the fact that Jesus is coming, even now! Reminds me of Discipleship on the Edge - Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, is coming! The end has already happened because everything I am, have been or will be is in Christ. This frees me up to be totally taken by the present moment, to be romanced back onto my knees in self-giving-sacrificial-love (I feel you Ben, how quickly we reject it!!) I don't have to fear what comes next because I know how it ends. I just have to respond to that end now. The question is not if we will worship, but who we will worship. Babylon v. Holy City, Lamb v. Beast. 

Anywho, just some thoughts I had this week. I also just wanted to give you all a quick life update - I got a job!!!! Or rather, Christ gave me a job!!!!! The day after I listened to this sermon no less haha! I'm working as a server/hostess/bartender (what) at a taqueria (so I get to use spanish) walking distance from my house (so I can get there!) 

Honestly, His plan is always so much greater. Just wanted to share that little praise with you guys!! Can't wait to see you in a few short weeks!
