I've just come back from 3 straight weeks of Super Summer...it was the most intense 3 weeks of my life, but I learned a lot from God as well.
The theme for Super Summer was Called, from Hebrews 11:8:
"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going."
Sometimes God calls us to step out and trust Him...that's what faith is. One night the speaker talked about taking risks for Jesus, and I was again reminded of how non-risky a person I am. Those closest to me know I'm a safe, planned person, and lack in the area of spontaneity. This struck a chord in my spirit. Could me always being safe be putting God in a box? Could He be calling me to take risks for Him? I think I've already stepped out and taken the biggest risk of my life...moving to Dallas where in a month I have No job, No place to live, and NOT enough money to pay for school. Is He worth it?
That's been the biggest question in my life the past 3 weeks...Is He worth it? If I were to lose everything I have, is God enough? If I NEVER Ever get married, would God be enough? If all the plans I have failed, would God be enough for me?
The easy answer is "yes." The honest answer is, "I'm not sure, but I want Him to be."
I just want more of Jesus, so He becomes enough for me...He IS worth it, I just have to get past my selfish sinful desires...much easier said than done.
