Riding a Wave.

Being new to the church that I am at, almost 2 years now, I have not really seen all that some of the others in the church have seen, as far as the politics of it all go. Having the eyes of a child has helped me. I seem to mesh well with both groups, and that being the older group and the younger group, then there is the teens. You run into the problem of wanting to cater to each group, older hymns that most of them know, and the younger ones want some good worship songs that they know from the Christian music scene. But it is not all about the music. What I see is to groups, one wanting change, one not so much in favor of that. And because of this and other things these two groups do not mesh well together. We have our small groups like most do, but they also are divided. I attend one that is made up of different "maturity" than another...And I enjoy both. One made mention to me the other night about that these things come in waves, and she prefers to ride the wave she is comfortable in...And she stays with it and just avoids all the other ones that have crashed on her. This made me think...What if we all did that...Just rode that one wave that never crashes? Riding in comfort. You know what the wave will do if the wind picks up. Or if a storm starts racing in...You know every move it will make. Well I am riding a different wave, if we do not step off that wave, and try for a bigger wave, or even a smaller one, or one with a different current...We may never find what God wants us to find. In this journey if I have learned anything it is this...You are always growing and wanting to be feed...Then there comes a point when you can feed others, I just do not see how Gods kingdom can grow if we are not taking our boards (Bibles) and stepping into new un charted territory to ride some totally new waves. We have to learn to. Well learn. We get so comfortable...That I think we stop, or at least slow down our "surfing" (bible knowledge) skills. Those people that we may not like, or that we think are just not cool enough for our "group" may teach us our biggest lessons. You know even God said that it would be tough...Never easy...We would be ridiculed and banished because of our Love for Him...We are not meant to find a wave and go with it...If that wave is our comfort. Well my waves....Sometimes are small tasks for me....Bigger waves for me. He is faithful to lead me...His board (bible) is what I ride on...And the waves (journeys and lessons and people) are ever changing in the sea (life) that is always controlled by the one and only GOD!!! You got take a chance...Or you may always be just a surfer...Not a skilled and matured competitive surfer...One that has one prize in mind....Heaven. That is where my podium is...And my winning...A mansion. Right next to my Coaches. ROCK ON...SURFS UP DUDE!!!! God Bless!!!
