strange to think that in twenty-four hours from now, i and thirteen others from evangel will be soaking in and contributing to the excitement that is YC. it's been four years since i attended, and that time has served to build suspense and extreme anticipation. certainly, to be in an atmosphere with 10 000+ others who are lifting their hands, bowing and praising the Lord Almighty for His saving grace is an awesome experience that lingers in memory even years later. i still recall listening to michael w. smith's sharing about columbine, about cassie bernall and how she lived her life with the highest purpose till the very end, till it was her time. oh Lord, that You would impart even greater, life-changing wisdom to us this weekend!
my passport arrived yesterday, and with the ticket bought, all that remains is packing and having the days pass till departure. with everything that's happened recently, some time away in other pursuits will be refreshing. besides, i'm thankful to be able to spend time with loved ones across the ocean while scouting out other opportunity to be on mission and share His Word.
melo, thanks for your encouragement. i know tribulation is a necessary refiner and preparation for what lies ahead, for still bigger mountains and battles.
i've begun reading "the ministry of nurture" (by duffy robbins) again and am benefiting tremendously. it draws a clear distinction between secondhand and firsthand faith, and how it is only when the latter is present that individuals will stick it out and display genuine commitment. it also challenges me to re-evaluate my own habits and activities, to consider changes i can make to truly build on not only my spiritual walk position, but also the foundations of this walk.
In my personal struggle to break free
The only piece for the puzzle that I need
Is just to follow the sweet familiar lead of Your love
