There are MOMENTS that are "GAME CHANGERS"

There are moments in your life that are "game changers." This weekend was that for me. The crazy thing about it is that this has been a regular occurrence lately. Anyone who has walked with me for the last month and a half has seen the REAL Aaron emerge more and more every day. I thought she was already on the scene until God surprisingly put a mirror in front of me in a way I never thought possible. I saw me. I saw me the way He saw me. Then, something beautiful happened. Simply...I fell in love. I fell in love with me...Aaron the girl...the daughter...the lover...the friend...the creator...the pastor...the one who God chose to be the object of His affection.

That moment changes everything. The filters disappear and you realize that YOU are the one God is talking about...the one who sits in Heavenly places with Him...the one who was created in His image...the one who was created to be the BEST receiver there ever was. The joy and happiness you walked in before moves from just being a beautiful jacket you can take on and off, to becoming like your skin. In fact, it becomes the very fiber of your being. It doesn't depend on "good news" to keep it, and it won't be shaken when the "stuff of life" makes an offering. Awww....I am wrecked by LOVE and wrecked by JOY.

So, back to this weekend....I was in the presence of 3 heroes who stirred my heart. One was a beautiful man who raises the dead for fun and picks fights with devils because he knows the power of his God. In thinking about the marvels of what this man walks in, I remembered what God called me to do. Then, God very gently asked me, "So Aaron...how many dead people have you actually prayed for lately?" OK...it's time to be normal and do what Jesus did.

Then, a mother, a general, and a woman of God who rescues babies from brothels and actually changes the economic structure of entire regions by co-laboring with the Creator blew on the flame that was already inside me and a volcano began to erupt. Nothing major...just saying "YES" to God, taking the first step, and watching God explode HIS reality. Game on!!

And lastly, but with probably the most impact...there was a beautiful 9 year old little girl who gave me at least 10 perfect hugs throughout the weekend. She looked at me like I was a hero and it made me want to be one more than anything. I told her that she was extraordinary and would make history and she believed me. Perfect!!!!
