You know after just a week of learning what it means to live the abundant life of the Spirit, it feels quite odd to be back home. Once again I find myself in the same situation that I've found myself in a thousand times before. The situation where I'm content with telling people about the weather and making small talk. Rather than telling them about the radical truth that God just spent a week imprinting on my heart. I guess what training camp taught me the most is that small talk just doesnt cut it when your God is an endless ocean. If God truly did create me as a warrior for His name, then I need to stop cowering in the shadows. Step out with my boxing gloves ready, and start swinging. No more being timid about the grace God has given me, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-dicipline" 2 Timothy 1:7. I really have learned alot in my past week at training camp, now it's time to live it. And there's no better time than now.
God, be everything good in me.
Be everything I could never be.
Lord, help me see.
And overcome my apathy.
Amen
