Be a Radical

When it comes to the big things in life, I tend to be very conservative. I don't really like to take chances. Sure, on small things, I can take a few chances, because, with small things, what I may lose by taking a chance is also small. I want to stop being so conservative and start being radical!

What I mean by that, is that I am challenging myself to step out and take a risk that is so radical that, as God calls me to take that risk, the only way to accomplish anything is for God to step in and intervene on my behalf. Something that is so out of my comfort zone that I can only be successful through and by Him. I want God to take someone like me, that may not be equipped or gifted for what He is calling me to do and for Him to lead me step by step through it, to bring Himself even greater glory.

What is it that God is calling you to today? What is it that, as we speak, you are not equipped to accomplish and only through God's grace and mercy will you have the tools to be successful? Whatever it is, I pray that we step up to become radical!

Sure. Stepping out to make life so much better for another human being, by providing them a strong, Christian home, even when the economy is so uncertain, is very radical. May God bless your entire family and provide Molly's transition to go as smoothly as possible.
