Hey look, a friend of mine is BCM person of the week! Yay Jonathan! Go say hello, and make sure to tell him you're a friend of Liz.

Anyway...to the important stuff. I'm not going to get really deep on you guys, cause I'm really not that deep of a person. At least I don't think I am. I like the deep stuff, but sometimes it's the simple things we need to focus on. So with that, I give you lyrics from KJ-52's song 5th Element. For the complete lyrics, try searching LetsSingIt.

Who am I? See I'm the God that you don't know about
I gave you breath up in your lungs that you can't go without
See you know the facts of My story you been told about
I'm always reaching out for you but you just keep on holding out
I know your doubts, I know you're thinking that I ain't real
See I know you forgot about Me when you got ya last record deal
See I know the way you feel, I walked the earth just like you
And like a child up in his Father's arms, I long to hide you
Many times I invite you while standing here right besides you
But you walk right past, you ignore My hands here given to guide you
I gave you gifts, I gave you talents that you just used to gain your wealth
But you took my gifts and talents only for you, just to glorify yourself
I was beaten and bruised, crushed now for your iniquity
Stripped naked, I was spit upon just for you to live eternally
Yet you blaspheme Me, you make moves without asking Me
Then you blame Me for your troubles and calamaties, you kidding me?
Keep Me first, keep Me in your life, and it's gonna be allright
See I'm Jesus Christ, the Fifth Element up in here tonight

It's a song that never fails to make me cry.

On another note, I have accepted God's call on my life to teach. I know at least one person on my list who is wondering, so I'll explain what I mean. I'm not talking about pastoring a church or anything like that. Honestly, I don't know where exactly God is going to place me. I might teach by writting books, or leading a girl's discipleship group. I'm not really sure. All I know is I feel strongly compelled to tell other people everything God has taught me.

It's funny. I've known about this for a while now. Used to, I would clam up in front of other people. Then, after I became a Christian and started learning things about God, I noticed that when I got up to speak, though nervous at first, it just seemed so...natural, like my mouth was on auto-pilot. I remember the first time I went on KY missions, the adult leader of my group told me I was really good at teaching the kids. All this time, I guess I was just afraid to accept who God has and continues to shape me into.

Wow. God is awesome.
