Starting to lay out my thoughts

Since I have started listening to some awesome teachings, and started reading some great authors, my mind spins constantly, and I have a ton of little things that get me wondering.  
Am I following Jesus with all my BEING?
Am I living as He called me to live?
Am I emptying myself enough for HIM to be seen?
In my weakness (daily) is HE made strong?

Since I can't say, I am putting it all down on paper.  Opening a portal into me.  Will I be completely off sometimes?  Of course, that is why I pray you always be truthful, and even share with me what God is saying to you.  I have learned many times this year that the bride of Christ can look so many ways, because we are all His bride.  Not one church, or ministry, or denomination.  

Many ministries focus on one thing, and work hard for their part in the body, some are more like birther's, and you see many ministries come from them.  But reguardless of how we work, we are all one body.  And since that be the case, I can glean from everyone and grow closer to my Jesus, by seeing things in a way I had never seen before.  By hearing truths, said different ways.

Healing can be done in a store or parking lot. We don't have to be seen or recognized, or even remembered, for God to get the glory.  Many times I have prayed for people as they go through my line, and talk about how life has torn them to shreds.  I will probably never know on this side of eternity how life went for them, but in hearing other peoples stories, "a teenager prayed for me every time I went to get my groceries, and the tumor was just gone".  The man who gave this testimony does not even know who prayed for him, but God doesn't care who prays, just that it gets done, and another lost soul comes to the cross for complete total salvation, freedom, and relationship with Christ.

Many times this year I have wondered why so many people quote Oswald Chambers, but even as I begin to read, I know I will learn much from this devotional.  My life is not lived for myself but to be presented to Christ with everything I have within me.  And yet not just everything, but the VERY best.  

So here I go, do I give my best?  In anything?  In some things?  To God?  Everyday?  Every moment?  I want to be remembered as sold out for Christ, a fanatic in a time where every one "knows" Jesus.  Different, Crazy, Over the Top extravagent in my love for Jehovah.  The Lord of everything in my life.
