Smart kid

I found this quote on the social networking site of a friend of mine from church I'll call "BD". She is a rising sophomore who "tagged" me to be a friend through this site. In browsing around different parts, I came across her description of herself. She's a smart kid and unashamed of the decisions she's made in her walk with God. I'm so amazed at her honesty and aspire to live this statement in my daily life.

"I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over the line. I am a disciple of his. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed. I am finished with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dream, tamed visions, mundane talking and dwarfed goals. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, live by prayer, labor by power. My faith is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven. My road is narrow, my companions few, my guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary or negociate at the table of the enemy. I won't give up, shut up, let up; until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go until He comes, give til I drop, preach so all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problems recognizing me. My banner will be clear."
