My Purpose vs. God's Purpose, Post #1

Hello, Everyone!

Well, my good friend and brother in Jesus, Rodger, has invited me to contribute to this blog. And happily, I obliged.
Today, I will be posting my first blog entry. And it comes from something I wrote a while back on my MySpace blog. I hope and pray that it encourages you, lifts you up, and gives you revelation for this new day. I am not confident in my writings. However, I am fully confident that the Spirit of God, Who raised Yeshua (Jesus) from the dead, is the very same Spirit, Who is capable of taking a very gut-level, honest, and simple message and making it something that could impact many and inspire others to run after God's heart.
Please also know that, as a preface to all of my other entries, my motivation is purely out of an open, concerned heart ;D, and that I aspire to write and care out of compassion, and not out of a spirit of pride. Please forgive me if you are ever offended by what I post. I just want to make my Yeshua proud! I must be crazy in love with Him, or else!
Please enjoy, and feel absolutely free to comment! Thank you. And thank you, Rod, for this opportunity. :D

Shoshannah's Post:

What am I worth? What am I to be in the grand scheme of things? Am I worth more than, say, a bridge from one dispensation to the next? What!? That is natural thinking. That is to see this…motion of purpose, well, just naturally. It really is more supernatural than that.

Are those questions valid? Are they even the right questions to ask? Probably not. Given that God has foreordained all His children to be salt, a light, a city on a hill, ambassadors of Heaven, and coheirs of Yeshua, I am persuaded that He would never see my job or purpose as second class or less than desirable. He wouldn't see sin in degrees either. Or does He? There are levels of Hell for degrees of sins. But they are all sin. So, I suppose in that light, He would see my job, Joe Shmoe's job, Plain Jane's job, and the saved, believing, Spirit-filled celebrity's job as all important. Vitally important

So to say that becoming a bridge by the hand of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, foreordained for His sovereign and important purposes upon this earth, is second class or less than desirable, is saying that He didn't know what He was doing. If I am to be a bridge, then I just may end up being one of the most important bridges in worldly history. Maybe not. Come to think of it, Yeshua was a bridge… and if it weren't for Him, then we would have NO intimate fellowship and relationship with God the Father- Abba.

A bridge can be important. Vitally important. So costly that it may mean the difference of life and death for some, or many. Or not so intense. Whatever God wants.

I guess this brings me back to my question of purposes. So? I have too quickly forgotten, within my worldly cares at this present moment, that I know that my ultimate purpose, both upon this earth and in all my existence in everlasting life, is to worship God. Therefore, if I am to be a bridge from the last dispensation to my children, who could be (I am convinced who probably are) part of the last dispensation, then I better be the best worshipping and praising bridge I can be, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

If that is the case, then why am I thinking that my generation wouldn't or couldn't be within the last dispensation? Am I feeling given up on? Am I feeling replaced in the scheme of eternity by my own children and their callings? I don't know. Maybe. I hope not. But if I am, then I can have confidence that if God made me, created me with the things He put in me, then He will continue to love me and use me for His glory.

Let's get this straight: not my will be done, but Your will be done, oh, Adonai! Not for my pleasure, Adonai, but for Your pleasure. Not for my glory, Adonai, but for Your glory alone! For You share Your glory with no man- no one!I love you, Yah-Adonai!! Just use me. Use me. Use me! And let my life, my love, and my deeds be a sweet smelling aroma to Your nose! For Your name. For Your Word. For You.

SO LONG!!!

wow, guys I dont know, I feel so guilty for taking this long, gosh, its almost 6months since I last posted something on here!!! oh man, how lazy I can be some times......., I always wanted to get back here to post some more articles, but I could always procrastinate, it hadd to take some butt spanking for me to get up and get on, otherwise, welcome back every one, wow I have missed u guys sooo soo much, during the break, just so much happened, I know I suspended posts to the site when I went back to school, I felt it wiser not to juggle school with the blog, but one terrible mistake I make, I never inspired some one to take over from me for the time I was away, there's some really great guys that I'll have to introduce on here later on, and actually they have been so ready to always post something on the site as long as I can give them the opportunity, but I was always stalling, ok. alright, like you all know, I come from Uganda and in the central part of the country, where they have a saying that "when you travel you see, and when you return you tell stories" so I really gotta tell some of what I saw while I was away :) um lets see, well, there was the US elections, (big thing ya know) then we had the NSSF saga down here (social security funds) gosh, I badly wanted to come back on here and write some thing about those goons that swindled the social security funds, I really was so much dying to share something about it with some one, and so there was no better family I could think of than my "blog pals family:)" that's a new phrase right there [blog pals family] some body post that on urbandictionary :) lol well yea, and man I always felt bad for being unable to come post something on here about that saga since for most part of it, we were busy with exams and tests, never the less guys, its not too late, I'll tell u what was on my mind all through out the whole drama. I feel all those thieves that are in government that conned devoted Ugandan workers of their hard earned money, should be thrown in prison, stripped of all their riches, and people shouldn't just debate whether the guys should lose their political seats or not, gosh they are thieves, they should be tried in courts of LAW!! not parliament (congress) they stole from the worker's period!! and they were supposed to be arrested and taken to prison pending further investigations, and now this is the most annoying part, nothing was done to these broad day light thieves, NOTHING!! oh sweet justice, the punks bribed as many politicians as they could rally, and in the end they were never censured, oh and the president (geat president of Uganda) he just sat and looked, he neither said or did something about the whole thing, after all these are his tribes men [yes I said it!!] he just kept enjoying the whole thing all through, and now???.....no one even remembers about the whole story, but atleast not me, I still have those guys on my mind, and I'll never forget them, and I daily pray to God that their heavenly punishment is always upheld unless when they repent and apologize to the people of Uganda!
ok what else apart from the US elections and NSSF?? oh man just a lot, the war in congo, I was following it all through upto the end, and I still feel bad for having not come here to post something about it, ok let me make some brief points that I cant do with out mentioning, first and foremost, I was soo angry with Rwanda, they were supporting a terrorist, I don't care what reasons they give, (the interahamwe and all) point is, two wrongs don't make a right, u dont put out fire with fire, there's always better ways to quench the fire ( and the word here is quench!) they could have done it in a better way than suporting a terrorist, I was so so happy the other day when I heard that Nkunda had been arrested, it gave me alot of joy.
Alright fast forward, from the Congo to Russia, oh man, well I don't condone what Mikheil Saakashvili (had to google that name, quite a hard one :) ) did when he tried to invade South Ossetia thinking that the world wouldn't be watching, but again, the retaliation by the Russians was so excessive, brutal and uncalled for, and from the little I know about Russians, im so sure the people of Georgia were being subject to unbearable tremor for all the times the Russians were in their country.
Alright...., and then to the Olympics, wow hats off to Michael Phelps, boy I was so so impressed by the guy, sooooo great, 8GOLD MEDALS!!! ok I've tried some athletics before, but please never come to my home and try to check on the walls to find if I got some medals hanging up there, none, nada!, never got nothing, its not easy at all, oh and boy how about USAIN BOLT?!! gosh, he can BOLT!! I dunno if his parents gave him that name as a prophecy or something, well in Uganda bolt is a slang for split, and if u saw Usain Bolt, he actually splits close to the speed of lightening!! goodness me, that brotha is just a rare phenomenon, I don't think any one will ever break his records, prolly he himself will, esp in the 100m sprint race, cause he could even have recorded faster seconds if hed given it his whole, I remember when they were asking us to choose for the sports personality of the year 2008 on BBC radio and they had both Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt up, well my vote went for Usain Bolt, cause if there ever was a chance of winning as many as 8gold medals all on world record in sprints as there is in swimming, then Usain Bolt could of gone all the way, that im sure of.well um, guys, for some of U, im really sorry , I didn't see nothing worthy mentioning about you when it came to the Olympics, so to say ur country did nothing out of the ordinary, um,was like just basic U get it?? As for Uganda....[-( mnnnh, to tell you the truth, I think we got what we rightly deserved, I continually told fellow country men, that not until this nation recognizes sports as a potential source of income and career as well for some people, and it (government) starts to invest in it, then we should always never expect to reap from where we don't sow, scripture has it right "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." it'd be rediculous for me as a Ugandan to think that this country should hope to get anything out of the olympics when they practically invested nothing apart from buying the air tickets for the atheletes, and giving them flags to wave at the opening ceremony, X(X( that just even breaks my heart when I think about it, we need real leaders in this country, not selfish self seekers!! [yes I said it!!] but REAL LEADERS!!

Alright, what next after the Olympics??um, let me see.....actually nothing so big there went on apart from the US elections into which I wont go so deep cause I know we all had our candidates of choice and we were so passionate about them, yes even the ones that don't live in the US some how got caught up in that thing.
Then we move on to the Israel Gaza war, who did U blame?? did U blame the Israelites for defending them selves or the hamas for terrorizing a nation more powerful than them and they still stayed stubborn even when they were over powered?.
Any way that just tells you what my take on the entire war was, first and foremost I felt so sorry for the Palestinian civilians that lost their lives, it was really so sad, but look, these people used to be warned before Israel could drop bombs on those hamas invested areas and yet they used to stay in the places so that they can be pitied by the biased media as victims of the Israel indiscriminate bombings (baloney!), and yet, the media used to hardly report on the constant rockets that the hamas used to launch into the southern part of Israel killing and keeping innocent Israelites over there in constant fear and terror. And so there was this funny scenario, so Israel calls for a cease fire and guess what?? you expect the hamas to be happy and bow out in peace right?? but what do they do? they launch 3rocket misiles into Israel that very day!! and the media doesn't even get hard on them (hamas) at all, and im like, what are these guys thinking?? I discussed this with a friend of mine that has always been so anti Israel (poor Anthony), and he was even lost for words, I mean, he couldn't find a way to defend these terrorists however much he could try.
Alright, I guess that is enough catching up don't you think?? well I think it is, if you feel I missed out on any thing, please email me or put it in the comments and I will surely get back to U

Three leaders of the big beer companies meet for a drink. The president of Budweiser orders a Bud. Miller's president orders a Millers and the president of Coors orders a Coors. When it is Guinness turn to order he orders a soda. Why didn't you order a Guinness everyone asks? Nah Guinness replies. If you guys aren't having a beer neither will I.
