Texas Day 4

Today was a beautiful day. It was cloudy but nice and breezy this morning and then the sun broke through this afternoon. We had several different teams of people today. One was building a bridge at the low ropes course, one was painting, and one was clearing out some brush and cutting down trees for a climbing wall. Now we are about to eat and then have our Bible study (Going through James while here, then have fellowship time and of course watch Duke vs. Butler for all who want! I have put some pics up from today and also a pic of the high ropes course we are doing on Wed.

Legit Quote

"He (Jesus) also refused to be guided by anything other than his high call. His heart was purposeful. Most lives aim at nothing in particular and achiece it. Jesus aimed at on goal- to save humanity from it's sin. He could summarize his life with one sentence: The son of man came to seek and save the lost. Jesus was so focused on his task that he knew when to say, 'my time has not yet come,' and when to say 'it is finished." But he was not so focused on his goal that he was unpleasant!" Just Like Jesue by Max Lucado.

May we all know what our purpose is as we go through today and tomorrow, if the Lord would allow. But may we not be so selfish and focus on our/ His purpose (although worthy and good) that we become unpleasant!!!

KNOCK the ME out of ME

This past week I heard Bill Stafford say "God wants to knock the me out of me." How true is that. When we look at God's Word we are told daily to die to ourself. God tells us it is no longer us living but Him living through us. But the struggle is for us to daily yield to Him. We have to die to ourself. We know God's word says to offer our bodies as living sacrifices however the problem is that the bodies are living meaning we have the tendancy to walk away. I want to be a living sacrifice always giving myself to Christ so it is Him living, not me. I want to wake up with the prayer, "God live through me today, may all you are take over who I am and may others only see Christ." But it's a constant state of dying. It doesn't just happen before we go to school or work but constantly dying to ourself. What about you, do you want Him to CONTINIOUSLY live through you? What steps are you taking to die to SELF?
