Proverbs 29:18 says without vision people perish. You were supposed to write a vision statement for Day 20. A vision statement is broad and general . This week each post will ask you to think specifically about a different aspect of the trip and envision yourself on the trip, what you will do, how you will react. The logic is this: If you don't know what you are shooting at you will never hit it.
Picture yourself on Sunday June 28th, we unpile out of van and unload our gear. We check in and start meeting people; Youthworks Leaders, other campers, other leaders, kids from the neighborhood. How do you respond? Do you extend yourself? Do you hang back? Are you still ticked cuz I took your phone? What are you thinking about the week ahead?

When I arrive, I will be thinking that I will try to make thwe week ahead one of the best, most fullfilling weeks of my life. I will try to show the people that we help that there is a God who loves them, and hopefully they will try to follow God on their own. I will also hope that I will make new friendships with the people I meet that will last a long time. I want to also make the friendships with by friends at church even stronger.Most importantly, I want this trip to aid me in my relationship with God and help me be closer to him and listen to him better.
ReplyDeleteI dont know where this quote comes from but it seemed to apply- well a little loosly but i liked it. its not old age that kills the elderly, its retirement. Once you take away a persons drive to accomplish something, theres nothing for them to push on for.i guess this relates because if you dont have goal, then theres no aim and growth is less likely. Once you take away that goal, things become less focused and your less likely to accomplish anything. ok so it didnt really connect very wel at all but whatever. I really just want to let myself go and let the Holy Spirit take the wheel. i want to be really friendly to people and i want to just reach out to everyone. i can be a little timid sometimes when it comes to immersing myself into an unknown group of people. i pray that i can be outgoing and not care about looking foolish because this is not a place where i should be judged, and i shouldnt care about being judged if i am, because as tineka and i said a couple of blogs back, God made us just how he wants us, and we shouldnt try to change for anyone else. So i should just be me, and put myself out there for other people to see. I really dont want to be the person to hang back, and if i am i want someone to tell me i am so i can jump into the game. Tom i might fight you but i guess you can take my phone away- we'll race for it. 800??? i know u were just scared. hehe. but yeah i really want this trip to be a spiritually awakening one for everyone.
ReplyDelete800, that's not fair. How about we throw in some pull-ups and deadlifts to even it out a little? Either way win or lose I'm taking that phone...(insert evil laugh here)
