We've aquired it, now can we make it stay?
The fire has been aquired by thousands of teenagers in Houston and the surrounding area. Not only here, but all over the country. Will it stay ignited? That is the question right now. As having experienced the hype and "Jesus high" that comes from attending a ATF and the drop off of it in a couple weeks I know first hand how easily swayed and pumped up teenagers and people in general can get, only to burn out when they have nothing of lasting substance to keep their fire and relationship with Christ going. The only thing that can really work is to pursue God, in the Word and in talking to Him, and not just trying to maintain a relationship through your pastor on Sunday and Wednesday. Church doesn't cut it I'm afraid. It take effort and time to have a good relationship with God, like it does with any other relationship in life. So my challange for myself and the rest of us who've been inspired by "Normal is not enough" is to actually pursue God and live like we promised we would. I will not slip back into mundane life, I can't afford it. Normal is not good enough for me.
