Marshmallow Peep Christians

I've decided that my adopted theme this summer is going to be, "Sure, why not?" This new mantra of mine has already led me to some exciting, scary, uncomfortable (and not to mention awkward) moments. At first, I was hesitant about my assignment, but I now have a bit more understanding of my dual purpose in Virginia. First and foremost, I am here to serve Christ and others. However, I believe that Christ is using this opportunity to transform me from a "bland, regular old pew-sitter" into a confident, self-aware Christ-follower who's focused on an end-goal and specific purpose. Excuse the food analogy, but it's like a regular Stay-Puft Marshmallow becoming an Easter Marshmallow Peep. You can use a generic marshmallow for anything, which is wonderful. But, being open to challenges and accepting Christ's will in your life can lead you to some pretty amazing places and experiences. Those awkward and scary moments can make you aware of your talents, gifts, and ultimately how Christ desires that you serve Him.
