i am kristy

I think it was in a sermon sometime last year, I can't remember who spoke or the exact words they said, but one thing I do remember is that they said, we decide what we are - happy/sad, angry/joyful, grateful/bitter and so on. It's a choice. And for me I was learning to be more mature in my emotions (still learning)... and so I decided that I chose to be love, committed, present, real, positive and pure. And from the past few days, I have decided to add another one - be passionate.

The Planetshakers conference was awesome, it actually was a first for me to be a fulltime delegate, I have only served at previous conferences, so it was really good to receive from this one. Everything - the worship, speakers and people we met, was full of passion, passion for Jesus Christ! It was full on and you could see it in their faces and by the way they spoke that they truly are passionate about the God they serve. Can I honestly say that?

I guess being brought up in a Christian family, I've been happy to go along just doing what I've always done; being a good christian, going to church, fellowshipping with friends etc. But that's not what it's all about, there's more.

I want to be SO passionate about Christ, that people will see and want to know His love as well, that it'll be so attractive that it'll draw people closer to Him, that God will be glorified in everything and every thought (ha that is a hard one). I know I can't do it, being just a human, but I know through God's spirit He will help me, and every day is a new one. It's just up to me to make that decision, the decision to be passionate!
