..All. But. Few..

Ok, so today has completely rocked my world! It started off with me waking up after over 8 hours of sleep (first time in a couple of weeks). That was followed by the best quiet time I’ve had all semester. I then left for school and listened to a sermon that my good friend Paul sent me during the drive. That blew my mind.

Upon arriving at school, I headed over to Danforth Chapel for my first time slot at 24hr prayer this semester. During which, I felt God speaking to me about things in my life and really challenging me to give Him my all. So good. After this influx of energy and strength, I headed to the college of design where I laser cut a project that is due Thursday. All of that went without a hitch (this is a pretty big deal for me). I then spent the next few hours building a model with those laser cut pieces while listening to a message from Simon Guillebaud entitled ‘The Adventure of Calling’. Again, mind blown.

After that, I finished another project while contemplating what I had heard today and was continuously overwhelmed with the life-giving truths of the Bible. The rest of my time at school consisted of going to the SRC to work out, stopping by Danforth for some powerful worship, and working on another project at the library. Busy day. After all of this, I headed home while re-listening to Simon’s message on calling.

All of this led to another quiet time with God in my backyard… in my jacuzzi (yes, it was brilliant). I ended up just praying for about 30- 45 minutes. I hadn’t prayed that long in a long time. It was so good. God, again, blew my mind! Needless to say, I feel reinvigorated. I’m pumped to see what God will do in my life in the coming months, weeks, even days! I am refreshed.

I thought I might leave you with a few key phrases and scriptures that really impacted me today. Enjoy.

 

How Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.

– Psalm 1

If you feel like you are too busy too give of yourself for Kingdom purposes.. then you are too busy.

– James Tour

Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you shall command your sons to observe carefully, even all the words of this law. For it is not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life and by this word you will prolong your days in the land, which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess.

– Deuteronomy 32

The critical issue in Christianity these days is not abortion, pornography, drugs, racism, etc. The critical issue is dullness. Christianity is no longer life changing, it’s life enhancing. If Christianity is just about being nice then I’m not interested.

- Simon Guillebaud

The defining moments of my life have not been my sins or my successes. They’ve been a depressingly small number of decisions that involved real risk.
