Yesterday signifyed the beginning of a new journey. 12 students from Canada, the United States, and Germany, met together to begin what would quickly become the most intense, most death defying...okay maybe that's exagerated.
Trek began yesterday! We started off with a pizza dinner at five, and spent the evening hanging out, playing board games, and just getting to know one another. There are twelve students in total, and we seem to have a really wide span of skills and ablities. Today will be our first sessions - or lessons, and I am really looking forward to just delving right into the things we will be learning.
Finishing John's Pipers Don't Waste Your Life I was brought to a renewed awareness of the importance of "seeking first His Kingdom..." I look forward to that over the next two months, and to taking this time to simply spend with God. I'm realizing more and more that even if I spent my whole life doing "good" things, if I am not using the time He gives me to seek His kingdom, then it is all nothing. I want to spend these next months seeking His kingdom, and moving closer towards Him.
"Today is the day the LORD has made,I will rejoice and be glad in it." This is my goal for the next two months. I'm already getting excited about outreach, wondering who my team will be and where I will go. So my goal is to not simply look to or live for tomorrow, but to rejoice each day in the Lord's presence, and thank Him for what he is doing each day. I want to live each day to the fullest, and take in as much as I possibly can while I'm here!
