sha na na, much?

"Every day I will bless You

And I will praise Your name forever and ever."

[Psalm 145:2]

sha na na is a word that has been doing its rounds.

and personally, i've grown a little weary of it and what it implies.

because when i think about it, i feel sad because i miss that kind of talk.

the kind that talks about God as if.... He's real.

not just after an awesome devotion time, not just when prayer breaks through, not just after camp, not just during conferences, not just during worship, not just on the pulpit, not just after service, not just on a sunday afternoon, not just on missions, not just in youth, not just when you're in cell;

but the reality of who Jesus is in our lives,

every single hour, minute, second; in the BIG things and the littlest of things as well.

And as a woman desiring so much to see a generation of women receive + embrace Jesus as a reality in their own lives, laughing or making light of it makes me feel quite, bleh.

honestly, i miss talking about who Jesus is in my life, about His promises + truths;

because I sorely, sorely, sorely miss the days when i could not wait to meet up with friends just to talk about the One that's in our lives and pray together... wherever we were.

it was vulnerable, because we were opening our lives, and that almost silly faith we had in God for our lives. In every situation, in every challenge, in every joy and blessing, in every success, it always came back to one person: Jesus.

Faith is already awkward in the world out there - It really should not have to feel out of place in the church too.

it shouldn't feel weird to be who Jesus made me to be.

then,it just makes me wonder...

does everyone know the same Jesus i know?
