Back from tour!
WOW
What a whirlwind of a time! I just got off the road with Young Isaac and MAN...I am spent. But WHAT AN AMAZING TIME. God blessed my socks off and I was so blessed and encouraged by each of them this summer. I will miss all the students dearly (emo moment here :) )
It has certainly been a while. I can scarcely hold a thought for too long before I move on to something else. Maybe that's why I'm so slow and far in-between blog entries.
Last night Dave Roux, the Keynote summer project director, spoke of going back into the valley after our mountaintop experience. He shared with us the example of Elijah who summoned fire to burn up the sacrifice on the altar to prove that the Lord was the Lord. And right after, he retreated into the Negev desert and wanted to die because he was afraid for his life, running away from Jezebel.
He steps down from the mountaintop and all these things come crashing in around him...it's the valley. Dave Roux...truer words were never spoken by you!
The summer was amazing with all the life change happening right before me, the people I met, the people I poured into and how I loved them and vice versa (I hope :) ), and it was fantastic. But this morning I woke up to the realization that I was going to have to deal with allllll these other things that have been on the wayside since I had left...
Difficult situations, relationships, the whole shebang...my head was full of clutter as I woke up this morning and the heat is on...I feel the spiritual attack and I need my Lord to help clear up what I'm thinking of...help me, Jesus.
To all my peeps...love you all. Thanks for your prayers and concern. You students were the greatest blessing in my life this summer. Now I've just gotta deal with all the other stuff going on in my life right now!
