Gc*B was fantastic tonight (Generation Church Boise) Pastor Shane served the Word like a waiter at a break dance competition (somehow i just referenced scott…)
We Interns, have an over night camping trip this week up to faith heights in McCall. Original schedule was thursday morning till friday afternoon but some of us guys wanted to extend the trip so we went up tonight, wednesday night.
The trip started just fine. Perfectly uncomfortable in the back seat of scotts truck. So us passengers had to resort to some sort of “straight man cuddling”. Now since Dan and Scott were riding up front, our music choices were limited… 2 out of 3 cds we listened to were country… My highlight though was our 3rd cd, GU ’08. With Seth, Kenrick, Dan, Scott and i singing fantastic worship songs at the top of our lungs with every window rolled down. (We’re not the BEST of singers, but God dosn’t mind)
Upon our arrival i began collecting wood from the stock pile to fuel our cabin living room fire. unable to find a hatchet i used resourcefulness and took it as my responsibility to split wood with a massive pick axe. To my discomfort i realized that i had begun humming some of the country songs we listened to on the way up. I took the pick axe and speared it into the ground to relieve my frustration, also symbolizing the death of the country desires that i seemed to be having.
Our fire roaring, countless card games, itunes jukebox/karaoke… Definitely a fun night. Its now 2:42 in the morning and everyone has finally settled down. Dan is catching some Z’s in the room across the hallway, Seth and Kenrick are watching over the fire as they sleep in the living room, and the faint sound of Scottie singing worship music in the room right below me has faded away…
Goodnight
End Day 1
Our first full day up at Faith Heights consisted of…
We also had three class sessions with Dr. Stan Flemming today. It was absolutely amazing, we talked about different world religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. Lots of interesting stuff!
Our second session really stood out to me. He talked a lot about the book of Acts and how crucial our faith is. I would like to share just some of my notes with you;
Dont ever think that your faith that you have now will be the same in ten years… Your faith grows like a seed.
In order for that seed to grow, it needs to break out of its shell.
Our potential as a christian is incredible.
Our seed WILL grow, and God will lead you in areas that tests your faith in order to grow your faith.
God dosnt test you to see if your doing good or bad, its not a grade, its all about growth.
He tests you to make sure your ready for the next big thing in your life.
You see, God dosnt always make bad things happen in your life, but sometimes He does allow them… And His sole purpose for it is to grow your faith. Maybe God is testing you in an area of finances, trust in Him and your faith will grow. Maybe He is testing you with your family members, trust in Him and your faith will grow. Testing you in a relationship, trust in Him, wait on His timing and your faith will grow.
No go grow your seed!
