They Loved Not Their Lives

"Thank you Lord for every time you've spoken to me through your word, your people, your elaborate creation. Thank you that you've called me with a specific Holy calling and that I am not better then any other of my brothers and sisters! You are a Lamb, humble and even pet-able, and a magnificent Lion who is worthy of fear and respect!"

And now for my audience: I am very excited about my journey of prayer, taking me far away from complacency into the presence of the Holy and Incompressable God. Lately I've been growing in the realization that God has given me this time on earth to attempt great things for him, and a menu from which to wisely choose how to Honor him. Signing up for fall classes at the U of A, preparing for Uganda, starting work at Chick-fil-A, and growing with my Link LEAD buddies have all been opportunities to worship God with boldness and humility.

"Don't hide your face from me Lord... thy face will I seek." Here am I, a weak person, managing talents of tremendous value, unknowingly walking with divine power. I need wisdom so much! Prayers! Strength from on high!

Well, from broad to specific, I'm planning on camping out at my church from May 21st to 31st, praying and fea-asting! What an opportunity for wilderness dependence on my Shepherd, especially as God attracts other people to this event. I really don't know much about leadership or people management, but I DO know that I want to invest my life into prayer and God's people... so as HE is, may I BE.
