good evening all... i pray the Lord finds you quite restful in His arms and snuggled closely to His promises made to all of His dear friends... me... i'm quite full to capacity with His spirit! but only filling an already poured out vessel is half the struggle... next week i'll have my rest once again... and find myself absolutely full of His presence... which brings me to my blog today... the Youth Workers Conference...
a place where youth leader and ministers all around come together to share stories and be encouraged in God's word... i wasn't able last year to go because of some complications in my position and the rearranging of powers and responsibilities at my job...but this year... i'm fortunate to have time off to enjoy a 3 day vaca to the hot springs resort in Murrieta... and i'm sooo ecstatic... to hear from my brothers about the struggles and to know that i'm not alone in my ventures of faith with my Father... it's all too refreshing... but most importantly to obtain more vision on what the Lord is ministering to my fellow co-laborers... that is what i'm brimming with excitement about... in my studies i've traveled through the gospels more than 3 or 4 times... but this time around... it's quite different... i've seen John the Baptist and knowing his position to the revealing of the Savior... but now the Lord is ministering to me about the disciple's... leaving everything and boldly following a man who claimed to be someone or something else than the monotonus life being lived at that moment... they went... they left their Father's, their families... all in faith knowing God would be the very ground they were going to step out onto... boldness... something i lack... something i can't muster on my own... yet... i find myself stuck in my comfort bubble... wondering why God can't use me... when i'm not open to the full leading of His spirit... but until i can release my hand on the things i consider important... my flesh... i can't be bold... God is more powerful than my flesh... and can certainly give me more than my feeble mind can think... it'll be fun to walk the path of blindness... faith... reaping the benefits of wherever the Lord guides... the Lord provides... i'm ready... this year will be spouting fruit of grand proportions... be willing folks... and be open church to the leading of where God and what God wants to do and go... grace and peace!
