I'm Baaaaack!
I want to go back to camp!! it was the best week ever! I met tons of new people that can help me strengthen my relationship with Christ. Especially the people from my small group! I learned so much information that will help me in my relationship with Jesus. We learned about the true meaning of forgiveness. It isn't saying "Oh, that's ok, no big deal." and not meaning it. It is saying "What you did really hurt me, but our relationship is more important to me than that hurt. So, I forgive you." I also learned how serious an issue forgiveness really is. God cannot forgive us untill we forgive others. Which brings me to a reminder: People are hipocrytes (me especially!). I keep thinking about how other people should be this and that and how bad they are when in fact many aspects of me are so much worse. I noticed last week that I was growing too comfortable in my routine walk of faith. I thank God for sending me to camp and that he brought me to that point. Part of being a Christian is knowing that we will never come close enough to our potential; The realization that we always need to be growing in Christ. I was also thinking too highly of myself and my oh-so-good life. I was being a goody-goody christian. That is one of my major faults: I tend to start leaning toward thinking too highly of my christianity and just being a goody-good. Instead, I need to cause an uprising. Some kind of thing to catch the attention of many.... The perfect opportunity is the thing Ashley and I are planning for next year: our CHRISTCORE Club. It will be an awesome on-campus ministry! I need to live by example...and stop thinking such lowly hypocrytical thoughts in this pea-sized brain of mine. I loved getting closer to my savior and getting rid of the "rocks" in my heart. It gave me the opportunity to rid my soul of all of the things holding me back spiritually. I got rid of the rocks and replaced them with the holy spirit. Now I feel pretty good. Ashley and Stacy: will you guys be my accountability partners? I love your guys! (btw: Stacy I love you so much and am so proud of you...you know why!) If anyone sees me being a hipocryte or doing anything else that is totally dumb or against Christ, tell me so I can repent! I love Jesus and he loves you! If I am too happy or hyper for you, don't worry, I am only extatic about Jesus. I got this awesome tee shirt that says break awaw from the crowd...it is cute ;) so much to tell...I think I will say the rest tomorrow. All of the important stuff is said. love ya'll!!!
