three days after the end of YC, i'm still struggling to put my thoughts and reflections into terms that do it justice, but to have to sum up 56 hours of God-generated excitement is impossible!!! undoubtedly, i will remember all that was gained and transformed for years to come, especially as the Lord chose to impart such such a significant portion of this new insight via the means that I best experience Him - MUSIC.
EDIT: more specifically on YC to come at a later date...
it's incredibly tragic how saturated and obsessed society has become with misconceptions and misdirections of what life is all about. honestly, without His guiding light and presence, there would be no reason whatsoever to get up each morning.
to combat this worldly tendency in myself, i've committed to going on somewhat of a "media fast", attending more to how God is working through daily circumstances and what He is saying to me in the simplest aspects of life. one such way to do so is to become immersed in His Word and other readings -currently, i'm reading through the 40 Days with God devotional for probably the third time, yet i continue to glean new truths from it. also, i'm about to begin Larry Crabb's The Pressures Off.
when i one day go before the King of Kings, i hope i can say with confidence that, although many of my days and years were not lived "pure and blameless[ly]", i accepted His call to start afresh and persevere with a single-minded existence that glorifies Him.
Fall back on everything You've done
Fall back on everlasting arms
When all the world is swept away
You are all the things I need
You're the air I breathe
I love You more than life |
