Journies of a Jesus Freak: I'll be leaving

Quotes

Will I put aside ME - the things that I want, MY dreams, MY comfort - and pursue HIM?Am I willing to give up being popular on earth to be a valuable part of heaven?What am I going to do to change even the smallest corner of this world?Is my focus on me, or am I focused on God? Is He my first priority?Do I live in such a way that I am sharing God's love and making a difference everywhere I go?IF I DIED TONIGHT, WOULD MY LIFE HAVE COUNTED?

The Task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you.

-Anonymus

God keeps showing up as the answer, not the question.

-A Jesus Freak

Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.

-The Fellowship of the Ring

We live in what might be the most anti-intellectual period in the history of western civilization... We must have passion - indeed hearts on fire for the things of God. But that passion must resist with intensity the anti-intellectual spirit of this world.

- R. C. Sproul

“Faith is a day by day, moment by moment, sometimes breath by breath decision to look beyond the current reality and to cling to something greater.”

-Rachel Martin

I'll be leaving

On Sunday morning, at 8 A.M, I'll be leaving to go to South Dakota for a missions trip with the Open Door church. We'll be going to the pine ridge reservation and serving in multiple ways. I'm extremely excited for it. Prayers during my trip are appreciated. I'm leaving tomorrow, and coming back on Friday. So good bye, hopefully I'll get back on a good posting schedule upon my return.

And believe me, last year, everyone on the team became my best friends. You grow SO close to each other. Open Door is the best church ever.

I'll pray for you guys - and I know the trip will be insane. Totally insane. Make lots of crazy memories, 'cause those are the best, haha. (and make sure Evan tells the chicken tumor story...he told that to me when we were eating alfraedo and noodles. Not. Good. I almost threw up.); June 26, 2010 1:54 PM
