Our Purpose
Our Highlander meeting on Friday night was more than I could have dreamed it would be. When I arrived at the Town Hall, I found out that the leaders were coming to talk to us. I can't tell you all that they said, because I don't remember it all. But I can remember what it made me think and feel.
The whole thought of us having a mission and what that mission is, is so exciting that I have a hard time containing myself. What I basically got out of the meeting was that our time is here as a village and God is sending us out. I love the fact that He is using us younger people in this, because this is what I have always wanted to do. I want to help people. I want to go and demonstrate our life, because I want other people to know what they are missing. I want to go to India, Africa, and wherever else we are needed. But mainly, I want to help America. I completely agree with Mother Teresa, that America is the most impoverished nation in the world. People have completely lost touch with God, and are standing on the edge of a great, black abyss. I want to reach out and pull them back before they fall in. I'm so glad the time is here. Now I have to get ready, for my time is coming soon.
The Highlanders are going to get together with the Chosen at least twice a week and we are going to learn to pray. I like what was said on the Amy Carmichael documentary about how God knows what we need or want, but he wants us to ask. I want to learn to pray. I am glad we are doing something because I hate talking about this stuff and not doing anything. I want to get a group of younger people, like those in our Highlanders, Chosen, and Overcommers groups, and go walk around the Mall, so people can see what they are looking for so desperately and are so unaware that they are looking. We are a light in a dark world. It reminds me of that thing from The Lord of the Rings, that Galadriel told Frodo when she gave him the phial. "May it be a light to you when all other lights go out." I want to be the phial of the world.
I am so excited that I don't know how to say everything I feel. I just know that I love God, and I want to do that even more. I love this place!
