God calls ordinary people to do odd and equally extraordinary things.
Arthur carried the cross on his shoulder, around the world in every nation and is listed in the Guinness World Records for the world’s longest walk over 39,671 miles, through 319 countries & major island groups for 44 years.
Why would he do this?
Passion for Jesus. Passion for people.
I’m not a Arthur Blessitt historian or anything but this is something that came to mind while watching snippets from his life.
God calls ordinary people to do odd and equally extraordinary things.
God’s not called us to be Arthur, but God has called us to do something.
I love being the Finkster’s wife (on most days) and momma to my awesome kids (on most days). On most days, they love being my hubby and kids. I dream of being a great wife and mom and lately, God’s been stirring my spirit about some other dreams.
Without self editing, what’s a vision or dream that God’s placed inside you? You may not have any steps planned out but would you consider dreaming out loud with me here?
I can think of two dreams that God’s put in my heart recently. The first is that I can in some way help stop and support the victims of human sex trafficking. This is a crime that disturbs me to my core, and I want to do something. I don’t know which steps I’ll be taking as I just started praying and researching last month, but I have to do something. You can be sure I’ll keep you posted as God refines this dream.
My other dream is that I can help be a bridge between Christians and homosexuals (whether they’re Christian or not). I’m tired of some “holy” (cough, cough) Christians thinking that they’re doing God’s will by judging or isolating from homosexuals. Equally irritating is that I’m tired of some homosexuals thinking that Christians hate them. I’ve seen the judgement go both ways.
If you’re homosexual, I am a very imperfect Christian who does not hate you, okay? Please don’t put me in a box or ask me to hide who I am, and I’ll try my very best to do likewise. Cool? Cool.
Again, not sure where God’s leading and I’ll keep ya posted on that dream too!
