After last nights message at Generate I was convicted heavily on my own actions. I struggle with fully committing. I enter into things with the best intentions hopeful and zealous to "change the world" a little while into it my zeal dies. I start to question if im actually making a difference or if im needed in this campaign for peoples hearts. I start to become inward dwelling worrying about the uncomfortableness that comes with a commitment. I slowly back away hoping no one notices and i can go back to living my mediocre life that i am so comfortable with. Remaining blind to the bigger problems in this world.

James 2:18 "But some will say ' you have faith; I have deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do."

I need to live more selflessly

Change

I love how we get to meet theses amazing people that just seem to do nothing but build you up. It's like they know what you're weak at and want to make you stronger, want to encourage you to do more... to grow more... to be more. I am so blessed to know more then one of these people they are family they pray for me, give me words of wisdom, and encourage me in truth. For some of these people i am separated by state and others by country. I am amazing by how we have all been brought together. How much my life has been changed just by a simple encounter. I am left to think who am i going to encourage to grow, to change, to become a person of action ?
I am so pumped on this adventure that God has graced me to live. Elizabeth Burkhard told me to remember that sometimes you have to leave the forest to see the trees.
Get stoked
Colossians 1:29 To this end I labor struggling with all of HIS energy,which so powerfully works in me.

Original pancake house adventure












Today we went to my families favorite breakfast place
with Esther
the birthday girl my sister
(Susie)and Natalie her sister. Our family
has a long weird history together. Its
encouraging to know that no matter
how many years go by we still maintain
a closeness. This was their first time so it was full of excitement.
