VOD: verse of the day

No hesitation

Matthew 4:20
At once they left their nets and followed him.
Matthew 8:22
But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."

As of yesterday, I've decided to put my faith where my heart is FINALLY. In the last 24 hrs I've been full on with initiating and getting things started for some pretty big life changes. I'm so excited, but know I will come up against some tough critisizm when I share my news...particularly with my parents...but this is where I reflect on Matthew. 4:20 doesn't say that they went home discussed all pros and cons with family and friends, no they Imediately left. In 8:22 Jesus comands us to not be concerned with issues that will keep us behind, no matter how important, but instead to follow HIM. When the Spirit moves, it's moving... and all I can say right now is I plan on holding on tight! I want in on this ride! Too many times I've wished I could do this or that like others, but I've finally realized that I just gotta plunge in and do it! Like what was mentioned earlier this year(8-6-06), if you wait till you are ready, you'll never be ready.
