| Sorry I have started putting so much time between posts, but I seem to have started putting significantly more thought into these posts.
This past week has been insightful to say the least. I was fortunate enough to be asked to go to a Young Life camp with a Capernaum group (special needs kids). For those who don't know what YL is, it's a ministry to HS aged kids which has a paid staff, but is mostly fronted by college aged kids who get involved in the school and befriend the kids to eventually share about Christ with them. It's a pretty swank thing. Anyways, I went to this place called Timberwolf Lake up in Lake City, MI. I was able to spend a week with 17 kids from the Christian HS for special needs kids that is in close ties with Trinity's SPED dept., Elim Christian School. Anyways, enough set up. I went to this camp on the invitation from my friend without really doing much research and it turned out to be pretty mind blowing. I went without really knowing the kids, without knowing about half of the other leaders, and without ever having beena leader for a group of kids for a week before. Especially not spent any lengths of time with special needs kids. And while by the end of the week I was most def. ready to go home because I was exhausted, it was a good, accomplished exhausted. I wish I could put into better words what really happened, but just being so fully trusted, loved and cared for by a group of kids so quickly and so blindly really helped me to see what it really is to be a Christian. They don't judge, they don't let socio-economic things get in the way, they aren't concerned about how "popular" you are; they just love. So thank you YL for this opportunity at this crucial point in my life where I sit on the cusp of a whole new part of my life. God is good. |

| God is good, all the time.
All the time, God is good.
It's true, no doubt, but MAN is life still really tough sometimes. That being said, I really feel like God is working through this hard part in my life to still work out something big. This is my time to grow up, and sink or swim, this is the time in my life that I prove to myself and all those around me that the part of my life where I skate by getting through life is over. No more ignoring finances for just one more day and then getting dinged with fines. No more agreeing to everything anyone asks me and ignoring the things in my own world that need worked on. No more letting thigns slide till the last minute. No more messes in my living spaces. It's time I took the reins of my life and became the man, all around, that God wants me and every other man out there, to be. It's time I stop just reading my Bible and praying and start acting out in my own life the things it takes to be a Christian. Because, after all, being a Christian is more than waht people see when they look at you, and more than just how much you read, study and pray. It is how you live your life when it is just you and God. And that part of my life can use some sharpening right now. Pray for me, please. |
