Ok, so I havn't blogged in forever and that pretty much defeats the purpose of having a blog. But I sit at my desk with a Starbucks and a Matt Chandler sermon playing. The pump is primed for a post.

The past few weeks Gwen and I have been on a Red Box spree. One of the movies we recently watched was Yes Man. It was crude, inappropriate, and not recommeded for family movie night. But the whole deal is to get out of a funk he has to say yes to every single oppritunity that comes his way. It takes him through Korean classes, guitar lessons, dating encounters, ect. Kind of a stupid decision making filter but none the less I'm sure someone is richer for the stupidity that was this movie. But for the past few weeks a thought has been lingering in my head.

What if I was a yes man to God?

What if every time God prompted us to action we took action immediatly? What could God do through us if we took every oppritunity he offered up? What if I quit laying awake at night dreaming about what God could do through me in the future and just did he asked of me durning the day? I try to daily lay my life down for the Christ but some days I do so little! And it is not becuase God doesn't want to use me or becuase I'm not given the opprtunities but becuase I pass up so many oppritunities that God lays out in front of me. What could God do if I simply said yes?

Who would hear the gospel? Who's needs would be meet? Who would be one step closer to Jesus? If I simply acted when God prompted what could he accomplish through me?
