beliefs change the world

i wanted to blog a comment earlier this week but couldn't find the time/ energy. basically that beliefs really shape the world... they create, fund, support life. they shape the way you view the world and what you do. and in the God-sense they call forth into existence the things that God would like to bless you with. do you believe in Jesus? do you believe, that there is a God who is greater than all you can possibly conceive? that this God who is greater than anything you can dream of loves you because of Jesus, and guides you, guards you, sets up your life for you, blesses you... do you believe that you are special?

there's a war within me at the moment...
in the midst of shopping for shoes with some great friends today... its like God was telling me that all of that was fleeting. 'could you walk away from that if i ask you to?' was the question - it wasn't really referring to the friendships themselves but to the fragility of everything in life.

i am so emotionally attached to it all...
can i truly lose what i have now... and embrace what God has in store for me? i've finally begun to embrace teaching (metanoia truly... changing my belief to one where i realise that this path is an anointed and a blessed, God ordained one, and one that i am given the strength to walk) but the thought of yet more change, yet more loss/ more gain/ more challenges is so daunting...

but what do i believe then? most likely that the life i envision for myself is better than what God has in store right?

do i really believe that when God takes first place and i follow it will all be okay? no. better than okay... great?
