Disciples
Jane started an article on the disciples & brought this question to my mind. Which disciple would you have been more like if you were one of the chosen 12? I hope no one answers Judas.
Me, personally, I would have been Peter. My mouth would run in front of my brain constantly. In his excitement to serve, many things he said & did wasn't well thought out but was "in the moment". He had the desire to serve whole heartedly but then would be confused about how he should serve. I would have jumped out of the boat with that childlike faith, but then that faith would turn to fear at the first wave I saw. But, Praise God, I would know Who to call out for when I did began to sink. I would have wanted to set up a tent for Moses & Elijah instead of standing in awe of what I was seeing. I would have gotten irate at the soldiers for coming to arrest my friend & WHACK - cut off an ear. The only other thing I would have done differently was I'd probably had cut Judas as well. I can see me now falling asleep at the helm when Jesus ask me to stay awake for Him. He would have come back bleeding & begged me to stay awake & I'd say sure Lord. The second He was out of sight, I'd pop an Ambien or Tylenol PM & crashed. But in all seriousness, Peter is the spitting image of me except in male form.

In all honesty if you would have asked me that question 7 years ago I would have told you Judas. I was so caught up in money and materialistic things that I could not see straight. I am glad that I am no longer that person. Now I am the type of person that would give my shirt off my own back to a person in need. I have had so many people ask me why I keep doing things for others when they just stab me in the back and the only reply that I have for them is "I want to please Jesus not anyone else" or "I know that is what Jesus wants me to do". I am not sure what diciple fits me or that I fit. All I know is that I am indeed one of God's children and I know that he has a wonderful plan for me whether it be here on Earth or with him in Heaven.
