So I just got back from Hume Lake Camp Thailand 2007 (www.humelake.org - check out what these folks are doing), and it was amazing to spend three days in the mountains of Chiang Mai with over 150 high school aged missionary kids and international students. TALK ABOUT LIFE CHANGING!!!
The message was all on the Parable of the Talents, and for the first time I got a glimpse of God's heart behind that story. It has less to do with the actual TALENTS than it does to how they used them. I think every time prior to this when I read about the talents, my prayer was "God speak to me and tell me what my talents are." For the first time, it's not about me - sorry to say this online, but I have this selfish bent to think about me and how everything affects me. God is walking me out of that place to where it's all about HIM...HE IS ALL I NEED AND IS MY EVERYTHING. It's all about Him and doing things for Him, for His glory and for His praise. My entire perspective has changed, and it is affecting each and every part of my life. Things I've struggled with all my life are for the first time changing because it's all about Him. Please continue to pray for me as I walk into this fully, because I know the attack will come since I'm taking back ground that's been in enemy camp way too long. Also pray for the students who went to Hume Lake this year...the Lord broke into their lives, stepped into their boats and they were rocked!!
That's why it's been a week or more since blogging...I was parenting four kids, then went to a conference, and then 3 days in the mountains with God, the Hume Lake staff, and the most on fire kids I've seen in awhile.
Just a challenge - life your lives well!! Do everything to the best of your ability!! That's my desire too!!! Be contagious and spread life wherever you go...
