Get real!

Tonight I entered into my first experience of ‘the sisterhood’. If you don’t know what this is all about then I strongly recommend you type in the words ‘sisterhood’ into google and see what comes up. I love being a part of something that is so much bigger and greater than I’ll ever understand and that something would be missing if I didn’t do my bit.

Anyway during worship I happened to glance over and this lady had tears streaming down her face. I didn’t know her or her story but I could tell she was getting real before her creator and that he was doing something within her. I think it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen or will see. People doing business with our almighty God and people allowing Him to move and change them.

I think that’s where it all starts. Us getting real. We can try and hide and sugar coat life and the things we’re facing but in the end where does that get us? Nothing gets resolved or dealt with,it just gets pushed to the side. We need to pull it out into the open and sit it at the foot of the cross and little by little bit by bit deal with it and let God move in His mighty way. That’s when things start happening.

And when we start getting real-He can start using us. To move and fight for the things that matter. On that note I’ll leave you with this:

While women weep as they do now,
I’ll fight
While men go to prison in and out in and out,as they do now,
I’ll fight
While there is a drunkard left,
While there is a poor lost girl upon the streets,
While there remains one dark soul without the light of God,
I’ll fight-I’ll fight to the very end
- General William Booth
