whoo!
it's hotter than, well than most other places i've been, anyways.
speaking of which, I WANNA GO CAMPING, & in the desert yet…
yeah, i really need to get out in the boonies & sleep in a tent a coupla nights: do me good.
wow. when Eric started praying at Collage (an our-age group, mostly singles in their twenties somewheres, at the Vineyard), he started praying over me & a lotta amazing stuff just about being gaurded against satan's attacks, confusion, my need to be at peace inside. i have been fighting so hard, & he didn't necessarily know that, but God put these things in him to pray over & he started saying things like let go & oasis.
one thing that i feel i've really learned is that yes, it is so important that i go to the places & get involved with the people God leads me to, but i also know so well now from this experience that no matter where i am or who i am with or what they tell me or how they treat me, i will worship with my whole or half heart, i will give of all or none of my life, i will adore or take for granted what Jesus has done for me, i will seek or ignore the promptings of the Spirit within me, & i will be who i am before God regardless of who i fellowship with or how.
i remember that only recently i was still thinking things like how greatful i was to be at so-&-so, to be worshiping with such-&-such. but that don't matter. i am with God all the time, & he has been so good to me.
i don't need to fight so hard. the authority of Christ is powerful inside me, & God will never put me in more than i can bear.
Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
