Sunday, November 2, 2008 - Re:Union |
So tonight was Re:Union. (just so you know, re:union is a get together that all of the students get together and have dinner together, have some content time, and do weird stuff. i mean weird. =-]) It was lots of fun. Nutmeg's mom took me there and my bro and I took her home. Re:Union just has a way of brightening my mood! i don't know what it is!!!!!! i just feel so happy! except for a few things that are going on in my life. if you guys are wanting to pray for me in any way, please please PLEASE pray for my heart to soften. that Christ would show me what life is like in other's shoes, and to not be so self-centered. I am also having some stress right now with school. i really want to excel, but...science is probably the biggest issue. i want to keep my grades up, but i'm getting like B minuses. and i don't even have my grades in yet. i just...feel like i'm failing. have any of you ever felt that way? that no matter what you do you always seem to fail? i feel like that. *sigh*
BUT...God is faithful. always remember that. He won't ever let me fall. He won't break any of His promises. I can put all of my faith in Him no matter what happens.
i don't really know what it is, but i feel like so many promises are being broken right now. i'm not sure what it is. maybe i'm just putting my trust in the wrong things. (heh, that's what G-reg was talking about 2nite!) I need to have my trust in God. these earthly things and people and earth itself is not reliable. that's not meant to be taken in a wrong way at all, but i just can't rely on this world. all around me is sinking sand, but Christ is my rock, my salvation. my hope. my strength.
my life.
so i will take up my cross each and every day to follow Him. I will choose to die to myself every day, never regretting losing this world, because i gain eternity. i gain Christ. i gain freedom. and i gain a hope that will never let me down.
ever.
wow, i guess God is really teaching me about trusting Him, right? :-) my fingers probably went faster than my mind just now. :-P
ya, Re:Union was great. G-reg (our leader) taught us about authentic faith. we've been talking about this for a while and we will be talking about this for a while.
"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the convictions of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
that's our verse. definitions:
assurance: confidence
hope: expect
conviction: evidence.
we have to put our hope in Christ-our expectations in Christ. because He's the only one that will meet our expectations. =-]
i need to head to bed. great talkin' to y'all! (that was totally random. :-P)
luv,
Sunshine
Joshua 21:45
"Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true." |

About Me
I AM: a daughter of the King of kings. A garden locked up. not my own. bought with a price. a mirror for Christ. 13 years old. homeschooled. imaginative. loved. precious. a servant.
I LOVE: my Abba. music. hugs. close friends. the Word. using my imagination. giving out God's love and mercy. pouring myself out to others. journaling. playing piano. playing guitar. my Mama and Papa.
I WILL: give up my life for someone else. live overseas. roam the earth. adopt a child. die for Christ. fall in love.
I HATE: sin. lying lips. two-faced people. false modesty. blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
