Man alive!
I learned so much this invasion.
So much about myself. So much about how I need to grow. So much about Catholics. So much about what I truly believe.
I came into this invasion with no real goals except to love my family and friends. I think I accomplished that pretty well.
In truly loving them, I realized how selfish I’ve been my whole life. I moved back home for a few months this past year to “help out my sister” but I didn’t even hang out with her. I didn’t even notice how much she just wanted to be my friend.
I’ve realized how much fun I can still have. I realized that I really can carry the atmosphere.
I realized that I need to be checking things in my own spirit, not just believing everything I see or hear.
I realized that I want to be ready when the next step comes because I believe it’s coming soon. It’s training time.
I realized I find myself more and more every day in Him.
I started out just liking their music.
Then I found out we love the same Jesus.
Then I found out they want to make His name known.
Man, they’re cool.

Martin Luther King Jr. reflected in a sermon, “Every now and then I think about my own death, and I think about my own funeral. Every now and then I ask myself, ‘What is it that I want said?’ I’d like somebody to mention that day, that Martin Luther King Jr. tried to give his life serving others. I’d like for somebody to say that day, that Martin Luther King Jr. tried to love somebody. I want you to say that day, that I tried to be right on the war question. I want you to be able to say that day, that I did try to feed the hungry. And I want you to be able to say that day, that I did try, in my life, to clothe those who were naked. I want you to say, on that day, that I did try, in my life, to visit those who were in prison. I want you to say that I tried to love and serve humanity.”
I am a warrior.
I do not practice the art of war, I possess the heart of war.
It is my lifestyle.
It is at the very core of my being.
Every morning I wak e up believing that the victory is mine and I’m ready to fight.
I have been blessed with the supernatural power of sight to see the enemy and what is to come.
With the Lord on my side, I’ve no need to run.
Though war breaks out against me
And whole armies search for me
I do not feel fear;
I’m enthusiastic.
An unexplainable joy fills my bones, brings life to my extremities, and flows out of every pore on my body.
I can’t keep this joy stagnant inside.
It’s expressed by expressions I can’t hide.
You can’t wipe this smile off my face.
You cannot tear my joy away.
Because I am a warrior through and through; and every single thing I do is Christ in me.
He gives me strength immeasurable to any man.
He gives me peace that doesn’t change with my circumstance.
Everyday I get ready and sharpen my sword.
My tongue dances with praises to my Lord
As I prepare for the battles ahead.
I can sense the enemy’s imminent dread
When they see this warrior is ready to fight
My features aglow and dripping with light.
I’m ready for anything thrown my way.
I’m ready to fight for the cause today.
I have not paused in my training.
My passion is not waning.
I am a warrior.
I will not back down. I will not be silent.
I am a warrior.
Quenching flaming attacks with my shielding faith.
I am a warrior.
Ready for the devil with my sword in my hand.
I am a warrior.
Depending on God’s supernatural ability to provide me the victory.
I am a warrior.
An overcomer by the blood of the Lamb.
I am who I AM says I am.
“So this guy comes up to me and says:
“what’s the vision? What’s the big idea?”
I open my mouth and words come out like this:
The vision?
The vision is JESUS – obsessively, dangerously, undeniably Jesus.The vision is an army of young people.
You see bones? I see an army.
And they are FREE…
