Lately I am so convicted to strenghten myself in Christ. With that I am so thankful for the current time of ease in my life for renewal. Usually I am stretched or being tested or hurt, but currently everything is just happening. Its seem my life is in slow motion and I can finaly keep up. I am especially thankful for these times in my life because it gives me the opportunity to renew myself and rest before the next storm. I know that it is impossible to live on the mountain for it is only a place to come and be filled. Soon comes the time where I will be called on by Christ to go down and pour myself out for people. Tomorrow I get placed as a Young Life Leader. I am excited, as most people are, but at the same time I am confronted with the knowledge that this means I will be asked to give all of myself and rely solely on Christ for support. In the past when I have trusted Christ to sustain me he has never let me down and I know he wont this time either, but what I haven't yet figured out is how to make the transition more easily. It always seems like I come to the brink of my existance before Christ comes in and saves the day, and up to that point it is always very uncomfortable. It could be that I don't really rely on Christ all the time for my daily bread and strength, and when I absolutely have to I need to be in desperate need of help. If I where 100% dependant on Christ all the time there would never be a period of transition, I would never be completely empty. On the other side of this I know that God is strongest in my greastest weakness's. By offering myself to Him unconditionaly for His purposes alone He will be glorified in everything I do, both my successes and my failures. I am confident that God will use me in ways I probably won't even know. I am so excited to see all the places God will take me and look forward to becoming a man of God. So heres to the next step in an endless walk, may it be the greatest yet.
In Him,
matt

MMmmmmmmm.........sooooo sleeeeepy.......but I can't not comment, you know :) I'll make it quick, though: Yay! May your walk with God grow more fulfilling every day. That's not supposed to imply that it isn't already very much so, but rather....hmmm....I don't know how I can communicate what I want to say, but I guess I'll just pray that God will speak to you more and more since you are so willing to listen.
Thanks Annie you are totally awesome!!!!
