I am not a follower by any means. I never followed fashion/style trends...just look at my hair... and I never followed people. Anything I've done, I did because I wanted to, or I researched and researched and decided to try. I'm not the one to jump off a bridge just because you did.
However, just because I'm not a follower doesn't mean I don't like to be lead. I love being lead by a good teacher, coach, mentor and maybe one day a man. I am the athlete every coach wants to have...my motto is, you're the coach...I do what you say and trust what you teach...otherwise you shouldn't be a coach. I am a believer of the quote in the Karate Kid (w/jaden smith) "There's no such thing as bad student, only bad teacher." I will not question your expertise, but if I follow and end up sucking, ummmmm your bad. But anyway...I love to learn...I love to observe...I love to witness. So you are probably wondering why I titled this blog the way I did. I follow Him...and ONLY Him. Why follow Jesus? Because He's the only one who knows it all. He will never take me somewhere I don't belong, He will never hurt my feelings, He will never try to harm me, and He will always love me and have my best interest at heart. Why wouldn't you want to follow someone like that?
Some think to follow Jesus, to walk God's walk and follow His path means to give up fun, act like a monk or say "Ohmmmmmm" all day and night. People really think life ends when you follow Him. It's completely the opposite. You will always have sin in your life because it's impossible for you to be perfect. But God sure does bless you if you try. Following Him means He is in control. It took a lot for me to finally surrender. I am a person who likes to figure it out...anything...I need to know why and how. But the problem with that is...you can't figure out God. He does not think like us...He does not act like us...He is like nothing we could ever fathom. So I finally stopped trying to figure it out and it has been the best decision I have ever made. I'm less stressed. I am open for love. I am no longer searching, digging, detecting or dissecting. I gave that up. I am letting life be. I read the Word, say my prayers, go to church and trust Him and that He knows what He is doing. Because of that, I feel good. I am good. I have found a sense of peace within my soul and my life has been getting better and better each day. Did the problems disappear? Nope. They're still here, at least some of them. But they do not consume me. God's got it. I'm in good hands and I'm loving every moment of it.
