This past weekend was so awesome I can’t even begin to describe it. I was at Generation Unleashed 2007 Conference #1 with a small group from PMC and KCF and God blew us away with His presence! And dear God only knows just how much I needed this weekend!
On Thursday night, God reminded me that innocence is something to be valued.
On Friday morning, God totally infused my spirit with His peace and a sense of calm amidst the windstorm that is my life. Come what may, I’m ready.
On Friday night, what can I say? Awesome. My shoulder leans. There was an altar call that night was for those who felt called to full time ministry. I didn’t go up. But that didn’t stop God from meeting me right where I was—for someone that never so much as tears up, my peepers wouldn’t stop leaking.
I can’t explain much more than that because the experience was not only deep, but forced me to reflect upon thoughts I’ve refused to entertain for a number of reasons.
Much of the weekend was God confirming to me that I was on the right track and to not lose focus because of circumstances. Building God’s kingdom has been, and will continue to be, my sole purpose. I’ve worried too much about my kingdom of late, but I have renewed faith that He is more than able to take care of it—my life, future, career, education, etc. He only asks that I’m faithful.
I am nothing. He is everything.
