Although this title goes against the first guide line of Best Blogging Practices (Rule #1 create a creative title) that's still what this is: my first blogging assignment. We were asked to blog about training camp and our experiences so far and frankly, I really am not sure what to say yet. I am still so awestruck and overwhelmed with God's prescence and power, it's hard to just fit that all under 500 words.
To whoever's reading this blog just know this: God is good ALL THE TIME, God is real and God is yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If you know that arleady, then here's my next challenge –> BELIEVE IT! Because I finally did (fully and completely) for the first time this last week. God's taken the most wretched and ugly moments in my life and has finally freed me from each wounded area; He stepped in. He said 'enough's enough' And he continued what he's always done; He fights for me.
So what do I feel right now, in this moment? Complete and utter brokenness. I see my need for the Lord, because I'm done doing it on my own and pretending like I even can in the first place. I break over the lost, the countries I've never visited, strangers I've never seen, faces I've never touched. I break over my own selfishness and complancency, how I've been given so many opportunities to share Christ's love and each time I have sat back and reamined silent. Just remember guys: Our salvation is a priviledge, not a right. And you know what? That's the first time I've truthfully said that….and meant it. Even as I type this, I look at each word I've typed and they are all so vague in comparison to how I truly feel about this week…..and the fact that I have less than 10 minutes to post this and only 10 sec left to type it. To be continued….
In Him,
Liz
