Two things :
1. I just ordered two books :
My Utmost for His Highest- Oswald Chambers (http://www.amazon.com/Utmost-His-Highest-Classic-Edition/dp/0916441822)
Beauty of Spiritual Language- Jack Hayford (http://www.amazon.com/The-Beauty-Of-Spiritual-Language/product-reviews/0785272682/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending)
Some reviews regarding the latter that point to the fact that is sketchy and doesn't have proper exegesis. But whatever, let me see how it is; not like there's a lot of verses on 'speaking in tongues'.
The first book, I'm just so excited. I'm pretty sure it's about laying down my life to gain it and I'm all about that, I think. One thing I've encountered and I think might be a hindrance is that I would love dying to myself but really never get to that. It's great getting excited about it but if I'm not going to take tangible steps, it doesn't matter how much I read. I pray that as I read His word and this book, too, I will be convicted and through the Spirit, be able to move.
2. CAMP REUNION :
Woah, I'm so excited for this. Although I might not remember most of their names, I'm looking forward to knowing how they have been these past 3 months!
One thing that has spurred my heart, possibly because when I had to prepare to give my testimony of how God has changed my life at P2C, it led me to self-examine, reflect and also reminisce whether I was really saved, and what are those changes. It led me to see what my deep cravings are and how Jesus satisfied that.
I've learnt that everyone has a craving. Mostly, a craving for acceptance and intimacy. Especially, teens and I see so many teens and young kids trying to satisfy their God-shaped vacuum with finite things/people.
This reunion, I want to share with as many kids as possible that Jesus ONLY can satisfy them. He provides living waters for my soul. And not only that, springs of living water that flow out from withing(John 7:38,39). From deserts, to wet places to springs that give out. Isn't the wisdom of God amazing?
Living king size.
