I sit here reflecting over the week and one day in particular stands out above the rest. I had the best day ever on Thursday. Burger King released a new menu nation wide and in that menu was a BACON sundae! People I have lost nearly 40lbs however my love for BACON has not disappeared.... I just eat it in moderation instead of everyday a few times a day!! =) On Thursday I was like a kid Christmas Eve anticipating Santa's arrival and I'm not exaggerating I could not sit still in my seat. I was smiling from ear to ear and at one point I called Burger King just to make sure it wasn't a dream and I cried after getting off of the phone I was that excited! I could hardly wait until my lunch break to get that beautiful delicious salty sweet desert!!! I could picture the yumminess of the salty crispy bacon running through the soft cold yummy ice cream, chocolate AND caramel syrup! I was going around telling everyone about it! Nothing was going to ruin my day! In fact I had a malfunction with the tape drive that holds our backup tapes at work and although of course it was irritating (probably because it made me a few minutes late for my sundae appointment) it didn't ruin my day at all because I was THAT excited for this food. Then the moment FINALLY came and I punched out for lunch and drove to Burger King and let me tell you I was singing the entire way there. When I got in line I was jumping up and down and taking pictures and when I got to the register I exclaimed how excited I was and I turned to the people behind me and told them how excited I was! Then the time came when I could put that yummy spon full of sundae in my mouth and it was the most glorious moments of the week! So so good! Then just like that all the excitement wore off and it was back to reality.... just like at Christmas after you open your gifts and the excitement is over when the gifts are all unwrapped only difference is at Christmas you can become excited again because you can play with your new toys...I had no toys to play with just a stomach full of bacon ice cream goodness. :(. So sad.
What if I figured out how to live everyday like Thursday, the day I got my bacon sundae? What if I went around telling people how excited I was about Jesus? Thursday I didn't care what people thought of me one bit and I had some strange looks. I was confident in my love of bacon and I wanted to tell the world and I never thought about that vegan in the room I could offend!! Friends why do I hesitate to act just the same about Jesus? Why should I care about what people are going to think or who I will offend? How disappointing it has to be to my Heavenly Father that I shy away more than I should to share His story with others. I should be shouting from the mountain tops the love of my Jesus! I should be jumping up and down in my chair from the excitement of life! Why don't I ? What's stopping me?
It's time to live everyday with the excitement I showed this week! I want to tell the whole world about Jesus!!
How about you?
