regen camp was great (: even though i always dread to go for it each year, everytime i do, i come back feeling resolved and refreshed (: thank You Lord!
i feel like theres so many things i should do, and that i havent truly been living all-out for Jesus. its not meant to look normal, and it definitely will not blend in! but wisdom is serving a king that will soon come into power, rather than serving a world that is passing away. Jesus is the rightful king, but not yet in glory and not yet returned! So its really foolish to just to be living in the here and now, when eternity is at stake! The Lord is at hand! He is coming soon!
In God's kingdom, weakness comes before strength, and suffering before glory. which led me to think about how much i have actually been "suffering" for God. alarm bells start ringing because its been pretty good for me. its not that i dont try, but when things start to get uncomfortable, i stop trying. but living all out for Jesus is being willing to be uncomfortable, and being willing to lose the things that i hold dear, because only the cross is the dearest to me!
it is wise to live all out for Jesus, so i pray that we will all have kingdom-mindsets so that God will be glorified (:
What grace is mine
that He who dwells in endless light
called through the night
to find my distant soul
And from His scars
poured mercy that would plead for me
That I might live
and in His name be known
So I will go wherever He is calling me
I'll lose my life to find my life in Him
I'll give my all to gain the hope that never dies
I bow my heart, take up my cross and follow Him
What grace is mine
to know His breath alive in me
Beneath his wings
my wakened soul may soar
All fear can flee
for death's dark night is overcome
My Savior lives and reigns forevermore!
avoid the aliens;
