For such a time as this...

Recently I was at my Aunty Jeni's 60th birthday. We had heaps of laughs dressing up as random countries - some of us had never heard of them! We also hired a guy to come in and teach us some barn-dancing/line-dancing (embarrasing times), watched a crazy drama from my cousins (we are so not related) & listened to the best reindition of Cat Steven's song "Father & Son" that I have ever heard. Stephen surprised everyone (including me) by actually singing in front of a live audience! This has nothing to do really with what this post is about except my character was from Israel. I was watching 'One night with the King' beforehand and it reminded me of the courage it takes to live for God. Flag thinking Christians are wimps who use Christianity as a crutch! It takes guts, passion, courage, stamina, endurance, persistance and a whole lot more to really live for God. And maybe God will call us to be Esthers of our generation. To go against the grain of safety and comfort and to stand up for what we believe in. To do whatever it takes to save this country from hell. Even if that means facing death. God grant us the courage to be that generation!
