Tue - Thu

Tue

Bill spoke on praising God at all times. For the first time my heart caught it. I will praise Him always... in the valley of the shadow of death, in the midst of my deepest pain, in the darkest hour - I will praise Him, for His name in itself is worthy to be praised, regardless of where I am. And when I do, He enters my world.

After school we had singles workshop. We talked about relationships, our history and where we are at. It was emotionally open, but good. It is great to have sisters in the faith who can give you wisdom.

Wed

Kris spoke on justice (black & white, by the book) people [Absolom] and people that do not like confronting [David]. The aim of confrontation is restoration. Also be aware of your own weaknesses before confronting people.

Thu

Krystal spoke on John 15 & 17 - abiding in the vine, and giving the responsibility of tending the garden to the Gardener. Also entering His rest in Heb 4. Being who God made you to be, and not comparing yourself to others. Drinking from His grace and affirmation and affection towards you.

After school I hung out with a bunch of strong godly men. We shared about God, and how we loving people with God's love changes people. It is simple, yet profound. Unconditional love. No strings attached. Just receive love. Love restores all things. Having brothers to look up to gives me freedom to be more of myself.

God is always good.
His name is always worthy of Praise :)
