Back from Na

I am home now. This will be quick, but I do hope to give a fuller overview soon! God really blessed me through the conference. I was encouraged, and convicted of some areas of sin and unbelief. It is so easy to talk the talk and not walk the walk. I have so many areas of immaturity.

I want you to listen to the last message by C.J. Mahaney, even if you don’t listen to any others. It was about adoption, how we are God’s children. Simple but powerful. I really, really needed to hear it.

Being around people who are on fire for the Lord makes me realize that I can’t just coast along in my faith. The Word of God is living and active, and the Lord wants to fulfill His promises. I am His child, so why don’t I ask Him to? When I’m anxious, why don’t I pray for His strength? I mean really pray, not just offer up a quick token prayer? When I’m confused, why don’t I turn to the Bible for guidance? It has a wealth of wisdom.

I am just so thankful… more thoughts later.
