Too many thoughts....

I don't know why I am posting because I really don't know how to say the things I want to say. Sometimes I have so many thoughts going through my head that it just seems exhausting trying to figure out how to express them. Last night some of us jmen spent time praying, singing, and sharing what God is doing in our lives. It was encouraging just to hear what God is teaching everyone during this time. Today my small group went prayerwalking here on the campus. We spent time praying for the people here and the different regions of the world. Something someone said before prayerwalking made me think about all the people who have literally walked these paths here at MLC before. We hear about all these great things that God is doing all over the world and it never fails to amaze me that He chooses to use ordinary people. It doesn't take someone special to do this, just someone willing to be used by the Father. Whatever God may choose to do through me, I pray that it would show "that this all-surpassing power is from God"... it is not anything I do on my own (2 Corinthians 4:7). Tonight I also had a great talk with a friend. It is just refreshing to be completely transparent before others and be able to walk away feeling so much closer to someone. Here are some lyrics from a Casting Crowns song that express some other things running through my head:

If you ask me to run and carry your light into foreign land

If you ask me to fight, deliver your people from satan's hand

I'll go, but I cannot go alone

'Cause I know I'm nothing on my own

But the power of Christ in me makes me strong

Makes me strong

'Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong

When I'm blind you shine Your light on me

'Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability

How refreshing to know You don't need me

How amazing to find that You want me

So I'll stand on Your Truth, and I'll fight with Your Strength

Until You bring the victory,

by the power of Christ in me
