"Your generation has a 'real' radar. it's like you know when people are real or not." [paraphrased]--my psych teacher.
it's true. My generation is on the lookout for one thing; something REAL. and when we find this one real thing, we grab onto it and never let go. we get a little radical and a little crazy over that thing that we've found to be real. we don't care what people think about us, when we find something worth dying over, we will push life to it's limits.
"I'll take you with your hats on backwards, and your pink hair and your nose rings. 'cause you believe! you believe that you dont go to church to be entertained. you believe that you're not here because you need some type of social stimulation. you're here because you believe if somebody would equip you, you could shake the earth. you believe if somebody would put a weapon in your hand, you could begin to rake the gates of hell with message of the gospel of the Kingdom. because you are the most prophetic generation that's ever been. When you hear somebody that's real, you REACT, you respond and you'll go to war for that. that's why we found a generation that will die for this cause, because you believe that you have found something real."
-Damon Thompson
"i believe you are the most privilaged generation that has ever lived. not because of where things are in America right now, but because of where God is taking things. i don't believe there's ever been a generation that's going to experience what you experience. i believe youre gonna be privileged with the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit that any generation has ever experienced. that means there's something in the DNA of this generation that has an intuitive ability to connect with the realm of the spirit, the supernatural, to hear from God to see the things of the spirit, to dream the dreams of heaven, to see visions from heaven, there's something in this generation, that for them it will come more easily than any other generation, but it is waiting to be awakened in some of you."

so, everyone on earth. you wanna see my generation love God and change the course of history? seriously, start being REAL. be real with struggles, don't try to cover it up. be real with and about God.
when you just get real with people and stop trying to act perfect and be goody-two-shoes, and actually admit real life problems, they feel like they can come to you with anything. and then that opens a door to pray for them...
which in the end could result in the biggest awakening ever to happen on the earth.
it breaks my heart to see so many people go through the religious acts. it's not real, and that screams "DONT COME HERE!" to my generation.
we are sick and tired of dead, dry, useless religion. it's true, we NEED and WANT an awakening, and we won't settle for less.
i think all of this is part of the reason you see some kids take up the holy lifestyle. fasting and prayer. nazirites. consecration to God--not having a boyfriend or girlfriend.
it's cause we're sick of everything else. and once we've found something real, we GO for it. it's described perfectly by these two men. they describe me perfectly.
i refuse to settle with going through the motions when there's more to it!
no, i dont know exactly where God's taking me with all of this. but ill take it, one baby step at a time. i know i have so much to learn and so much to experience. i know i seem so immature and childish. this is where i am.
so ill start with this being real thing.
i need Jesus. Im not getting enough of Him. i hate that i spend all day doing school and swimming. i hate that it's soo hard to fast because of swimming, because i want to fast food all together but it's not happening with swimming. i need clear clear direction for this summer because i dont feel like i hit the right door yet. i have had crazy dreams lately that i wish God would explain to me. and i need someone to text sporadically through out the day about Jesus, who is young, who will get as excited as i am about Jesus, who is like-hearted, and who has the same view as me.
there. im being completely real. now it's your turn, please, just be real. for the sake of my generation.
