Time2Believe in EXPLODING

Endless amounts of reading for class = a shake

Crazy schedule = another shake

Her comment = another shake

That glance = another shake

The drama = another shake 

I am one shook up bottle of soda. 

How much can I take?

I willingly submit myself to some of the shaking, whereas some of it is out of my control. 

What for? 

I am tired of trying to run through life with this built up pressure.

My release is in Him.

This I know.

However, I CHOOSE to struggle.

My body tenses in efforts to survive the next shake

"I am strong enough"

"I can handle it"

"Just give it some time"

These are the familiar excuses that daily take up residence in my mind

I'm just done with these built up emotions

It's Time2Believe in exploding 

When you turn your eyes to the cross your bottle top is blown off

and PURE joy is the release

Have you ever thought that maybe God needs to explode the bottle

in order to empty it of all the contents

so that He can fill it with exactly what He wants

How often do we fight God through the pain?

Growing and stretching is never an easy journey

But looking back over it you wouldn't go back.... would you?

Those trials and obstacles contributed to who you are today

What would happen if we started to purposefully rejoice in the suffering?

What if the the pity party became a praise party?

How much JOY would that bring to our Father?

I have a new life desire.

I still long to be a bottle.

I want to be that bottle of champagne shaken after a victory

Because the VICTORY has already been won!

We are no longer prisoners of our own lives. 

The pressure and pain is only temporary

His JOY is new every morning. 

We are VICTORIOUS 

Grab your goggles because...

now is the time to rejoice and EXPLODE!
