I'll pray for you that there are no "maybe"s about it :) "Everyday with Jesus is sweeter than the day before" ;)
I came across Matthew 11:28-30 and I cannot believe I actually misquoted "My yoke is easy and my burden is light" to you in an email! ARGH. I've heard it all my life and possibly lost the context somewhere over the years. Didn't even remember that Jesus was the one who said it. I'm so sorry I've misquoted things to you. Thank you so much for always catching those though. You must have such little faith in my spiritual leadership abilities :( And there may be others I've been a lowsy leader for as well. I used to be so on fire. Reading the Bible frequently and working to hide His words in my heart, working at camp and leading kids to Christ, giving my testimony at Centrifuge in front of a LOT of people, fully relying on God to help me through all of it. God was the most important thing in my life, hands down. Somehow over the course of my senior year at CN I just slipped and fell, and I've been working to let God help me back up ever since. Other things began to take priority in my life and I compromised. Well not anymore. Conviction is a blessing and I am truly blessed. His hand is the one that pulls me to my feet and guides me, not my own or anyone else's. I'm tired of compromising. Integrity is priceless and immeasurably important. We are called to shine like stars in a wicked and depraved generation, and I'm tired of being another camouflaged soul that just blends in with this world. God is God, and all that I am and ever will be belongs to Him. May His love and grace be with me. I'm ready to stand out again.
whew. I apologize Wendy. I didn't go through that to convince you that my spiritual leadership has gotten any better or worse than before. I guess I just wanted to share what has been on my heart at first but once the Spirit takes holds of your words, you never know what will happen! I can delete this off of here if you want, because it is kind of long. Or, if you think it could bless someone else, I'll gladly leave it up.
So anyway I'm glad you updated ;) you are always in my prayers, and I'll talk to you later.
