Honestly I am a lawyer and have always been quite concerned about privacy issues, and weird stalkers, etc, and have preferred to just email my friends if something interesting was happening. But I keep hearing from people, "Hey Liz, remember those mass email updates you used to send- whatever happened to them?" And now I keep having these interesting run-ins with random people where God keeps showing up, and I have thought to myself others beyond my mass email list might benefit from hearing these stories. Perhaps I'll post old stories and update the blog with new ones as they happen. Hopefully God will be glorified as people see how easy it is to walk out the Kingdom of Jesus in real life and see God show up in every day places.
And this is why I'm about being a Lazy Evangelist. To me, evangelism- or kingdom living- is pretty easy. You get to know the love of God. You let Him love you up by really soaking up His Presence. You rest in His love until it permeates your entire being and you begin to only see yourself as a child of God. You get really good at knowing you are loved as a child, as opposed to walking around like an orphan living like a beggar instead living like you're the heir of a King. Then, when you have soaked up enough of God so that you know who you are, you release that love and value on other people and bless them with it. No tracts. No Roman Road. Just the plain and simple love and Presence of God. Easy.
I'll tell you more about how this is starting to look in my life.
