I see a lot of dirty windows:)

How clean is your glass?

So you know the glass windows and doors you seen at old walmarts. They usually have outside set and an inside set of windows. I dont claim to be a pro at cleaning as a matter of fact I hate cleaning windows. But when the time comes that I need to be a window washer that is what I try to be. It may not get the cleanest or be the best but its my best. So anyways there are so many topics that I could touch on. but one quick note is that there are people that are sold out to their church and to Jesus and then they are some that hold back and dont sell totally out.

One of the window washers stated, Jesus and this church have done so much for me, how can I not give back. It keeps us focused on him and we don't get distracted. that set with me as I began to take a look at the windows. I began to see through the glass and realize that this is going to be a big task. I realized that the inside of the windows would need clean and then the inside set of windows would need a cleaning. You cant just clean on set and forget about the other. When you do something you got to get in there and do it big.

I began to see all the people that have passed through these windows when it was wal-mart. I started to feel the pain, sorrow, sadness, struggles, etc of all the people that have walked through these doors. Then I began to think about those that are going to walk through these doors and find what they are looking for. It set a spark in me, I knew that this is my church and that I am going to be a part of a huge life changing church. The walmart customers don't know it but God has strategically placed this church in the heart of an area that is going to have the potential to reach even more than ever thought possible. I mean come on everyone in this area knows about this Walmart. When its God leading its going to happen. No matter what anyone person might say, when God decides it dosent matter what they think.

I began to realize that the windows are so important, if you don't clean them they get dirt and grime that keeps getting build up. Its like Christians who don't jump in and sell out to Jesus, they walk around with dirty windows. Jesus cant shine through them because their windows are dirty. We are suppose to be a light for Jesus but if the light can shine through your dirt then its going to be hidden.

Dont let your light be hidden with the build up of half Christianity, be all or nothing, sell out, and sell out big, get them windows clean like they have never been clean before.

How big is your fish bowl?

I am so amazed at my little fish from the New Vision Easter carnival. He is still living. I have even changed his bowl and have given him a proper home and through all the changes of his environment he is still alive. This little fish has given me inspiration and helped me to always side of side of life. Always strive to live even if your fish bowl is small.

You see he lived in a clear glass for several weeks because I though he would die before we got home. I did feed him but I just left him in this little glass and he adapted and over came. My son finally named him Dorothy and keeps saying when he dies we are going to flush him down the toilet. So needles to say this little was never given a chance to live. We wrote him off for dead before he turned belly up.

I think that some times we write ourselves or others off for dead. We just give up on our selves or others and we dont side on life. We say we are prolife but we write millions of babies that are starving all over the world for dead. We dont see that our neighbors and our families are stuggling and no one is listening. In these bad economic times we are so focused on our selves that we write everyone off for dead. Which means we just give up on them and dont help them get out of their small glasses into a better fish bowl.

This little fish was a gift from God. It may never know my name, but I know his. He may never talk to me or speak to me, but I speak to him. He may never thank me for cleaning his bowl but I thank God for him. For showing me that God dosent give up on the smallest of things. That no matter how small you are, or your situation is God still cares. No matter what God is going to take care of you and help you live. You really dont need all the stuff and things you thought you needed to survive. Just the basics and a will to survive. Dont be a stastic dont give into the negative times. Look up look to heavens, look past your cloudy fish bowl and rely on the father to bring you into clear waters.
