I'd like to...

...become "that" person for somebody.
Or at least want to want that.
To be able to bring the love that I have so... unconditionally, undeserving-ly received.
That'd be cool...
...but then what's to separate the friends from the... friends (;D)...?
Hrm...
Faith+Patience =]

YG Notes from today!
Hebrews 11,
1 Peter 1:7
Mature Christians... break circumstances. They fight in Jesus' name, and NO ONE should rob us of our blessings.
Let's give thanks, in order to see all the things God has done for us...
Grace through faith. Faith is a requirement, like a straw, sucking up the grace from a cup.
We need to depend on God, no lights (?) or anything.
The situations we are put in... are the answers to our prayers.
It's an opportunity to walk by faith. (Hebrews 11:1)
God values our faith.
In order to make olive oil, you need to asd';sag;lsdg;lasjf the oil. k? k.
God knows, EXACTLY what he is doing.
Hebrews 11:6 --> First step is to believe, second step is to believe that he is good, and then we need to earnestly seek him. For he rewards those who do so.
We believe that God does good things.
Trust, that God is Good.

PN: Psh. Comfort. Psh. Home. Trust in God.
I want to be back in the battlefield.
I realize why I've been feeling odd...
I'm too... comfortable here.
But it's okay =]
This is resting time... learning time... because I need to walk by faith as soon as I go back up to Boston >=]
And then... the fire starts... the refining comes back... the dependence on God comes back....
and I love it... and it's going to be AWESOME.... (Oh, but hard. Definitely hard. But it's all good =P 'Cause God is Guuud)

EM Service notes.
Mark 7:1-3
1, Religious People - Fake
2, Philanthropy + Humanism = Missions w/o love.
3, Guilt + Shame based Culture...

Christ; is what we have. And this, is everything. We already have, EVERYTHING.
Live by the tradition of the WORD...
NOT the WORLD.

God's commands? Love.
No Love? No Difference.
SO!
Love!
Instead of being Cyclical, we can become Linear, straight to the cross, instead of bumbling around like fools.

The engine always works... the power is there... just check the connection.

Word.

I think... today was interesting.
I went in... wanting to be hungry... being somewhat hungry...
And... the sermon kinda opened my eyes a bit.
...Even though... the fire was tough, and the semester was crazy and God was just working... I loved it.
I realize this now... that it was then, that I was really holding onto God, it was then, when my relationship with him was being exercised, and put to the test.
So now... God,
Thank you... for this rest (somewhat =P) And this time of learning...
Build me up... take care of me while I'm here...
'Cause It's time to fight when I go back....
And I am excited God.
I am excited.
