Sledgehammer

I met a friend the other night, well one of the young people I have had the misfortune of meeting on my travels!!! I jest of course! He was telling me how he started a blog and how many hits it had in it's first couple of posts. I was excited and surprised and for a split second I thought: "oh crap, he's better than me, his blogs are better". I suppose it's a natural reaction but God very kindly reminded me that it was always my intention to inspire others and to inspire them to be greater than I could ever be. 

After that split second past I got so excited, restored in a way, refocused on why I'm on this planet. I read his blog and it was brilliant, it was so him, so personal, so true! Flippin bring it on, I now pray and hope for more young people to be inspired and I hope that he inspires hundreds and thousands more!!

This got me thinking and hoping and praying. I was pushing God to tell me what my purpose was, why I do what I do. Then the Peter Gabriel song "Sledgehammer" came into my head, it wouldn't leave. "I wanna be, a sledgehammer". Strange? Yup. But I've come to realise that God can speak whatever way He wants.

Bottom line is, I'm a Sledgehammer, I shake things up, knock them down, change the status quo. I make people think. I help them dream. This is what God wants me to do. Simple.

Check out Chris McNaughts blog, write your own, start a charity, leave home and serve God, start making things that make God famous, start a band. Stop for a minute and let yourself be sledgehammered!!
