In just a few days, I will have the most anticipated birthday of my life. The other day I actually had to check my license to make sure I was really turning 21 in a few days. But for some reason, it doesn't seem like my birthday will be in a few days, its just another week. And I am completely fine with that. As I've said so many times, this is the last birthday I plan on celebrating.
Even though it doesn't seem like I'll be having a birthday soon, it does seem like a good time to spend a little time in retrospect. Of course, I've learned a lot over the past 21 years, everything from how to use a spoon to understanding love and who Yahweh is.
Recently I have been struggling in my walk with God. Some major distractions have taken over my thoughts and pushed Him to the back. It's as if I am walking a path completely unfamiliar, but I am hopeful that in retrospect, I will see how much God grew me. And through this new bit of growing I am going through, I am being defined...and refined.
As I mentioned, my focus got off Christ and I lost my passion for Him. But today, I am hopeful that the passion for Him is returning. Yesterday I spent a lot of time in the Word, just because I felt like I needed to. Several times, I just sat down and got my Bible out and started reading. I must confess, I can't say I've really done that before, but it was sooo good. Slowly, my focus is refocusing on Christ and it's refreshing!
In a couple hours I will be on Outreach Week and I am excited! I really don't know why I am on the team that I am, but I am trusting it is exactly where God wants me. That excites me! I really believe God is going to do some awesome things on outreach! Shalom.
