Life Without Camp...

What does life without camp look like? It's probably going to be a little bit slower. There's probably going to be a lot less people I have to deal with. I will probably eat better food (any food is better food). I won't have a roommate. There will be more sleeping going on (I'm excited about that). There is a TV in life without a camp. 35 less friends I get to hangout with daily.

But now let me tell you how it's not going to be different. There will always be praising and worshipping of God. I will read my Bible daily. Prayers will always be said. The sharing of Christ will happen. Growth spiritually will continue. God's will be sought after. I will never stop trying to change the world in Christ's name.

Sooo bring it on because it's just another chapter to a very long book...

Sooo it's Sunday...

And for some reason I'm thinking about camp. I wish I could turn it off. I was actually thinking about Paul and all his journeys too. He would go from town to town preaching the word of God. A lot of time staying in that town until the people "got it" or until they "rejected it". One question I was asking myself is when Paul left a town where the people just "got it" and he had built all these relationship and just shared life with those people, was Paul sad to leave the town to go to the next?

Of course he's either going to be sad or happy about it. There is really no middle ground, just extremes inside each of those feelings. I could see him being sad because he is human and as being human it's hard leaving people you love. Paul honestly cared about all the people he preached to from the first moment he got to the town. And after being there for sooo long wouldn't you think he would have these connection that would be hard to leave.

I can also see Paul being happy. Paul is a man of God. He is living for God's will to be carried out so maybe, just maybe he was happy to leave. Maybe he loved God's will so much over mankind that his feelings for people would never even came close to touching the love he had for God's will. I honestly don't know. I could see it being either way. I would love it to be the second one but Paul is still a man of this world.

Maybe if we could all get to this place where our love for God's will conquered all then we would be able to serve him much more effectively. Imagine it. It's time to quit your job where you are making 6 figures and go into full time missions. OH WELL, IT'S GOD'S WILL. It's time to break up with that beautiful girlfriend because the relationship isn't God honoring. OH WELL, IT'S GOD'S WILL. It's time to leave home because God's about to teach you a lesson the hard way. OH WELL IT'S GOD'S WILL.

Two weeks from tomorrow I leave camp. My sadness from leaving my new GREAT friends is going to be rough, but it's time. I have no question in my mind that I'm supposed to go back home and do some works there for awhile. So I feel like I'm getting it right for once because my Passion is lining up with my Purpose but my Passion is never becoming my Purpose. It's a lesson I've been learning

I know these are scattered thoughts
