Oh Oswald Chambers, you were so wise.
"It is the will of God that human beings should get into a rightstanding relationship with Him, and his covenants are designed for this purpose...When I have really transacted business with God on the basis of His covenant, letting everything else go, there is no sense of personal achievement- no human ingredient at all. Instead there is a complete overwhelming sense of being brought into the union with God, and my life is transformed and radiates peace and joy."
I love that last sentence. It sums up today for me.
Don't you just love Jason's Deli?? I do. What I love even more than that is hanging out with my friend, Mo, there today. I love how God has been growing me and stirring my heart the past few months. I have had to overcome a few dark times to get where I am, but couldn't be happier with the sanctification process.
The Lord did amazing things in my life as well as the life of my Young Life kids this past weekend. We went to Lost Canyon for a winter weekend and had an amazing time playing in the snow, growing deeper with God, playing Apples to Apples and Mafia, and drinking warm chai. I am so thankful that God has chosen to work through me in order for high schoolers to come to know Him. I don't know why he chose me but I am glad he did. I am glad when I can look beyond myself and realize what is truly important in life.
The next few weeks are going to be very busy, but I cannot WAIT!
I will be graduating from college, having family in town, going to Christmas parties, a dance recital, a band concert, watching the Lion King at Mandalay Bay, celebrating my incredible husband's birthday, going out of town for Christmas, and having my best friend back in town for New Years. Gah!!
