ok so i am about to start week 4 here at beach project.
this summer has already flown by. its been so cool watching the Lord work soooo fast. I finally got a job. praise the Lord. i am working at Juicy and it is really funny. the job is pretty much opposite of my style and personality but i am just thankful to have a job. about 12 people still dont. i have met really cool people here and it makes me so excited about montevallo. the Lord has only continued to pursue my heart and i have been beyond encouraged. He really is so so faithful. i am excited about the fresh start i have at montevallo and the endless possibilities. i get a second start at college and at building a reputation and i get to start off being the girl the Lord calls me to be. i have learned a lot about sin lately and also about the importance of sharing my faith. we watched this video of this atheist that said he didnt believe in heaven or hell but if he did how much would he have to hate someone to not share with them. that was so convicting to me. i am always way to worried about what people think and i am to comfortable in my christian bubble to be worried by the lost. it is repulsive the selfishness in my heart. i want to have such a heart for the lost and be so burdened by what the Lord is burdened by.
we heard a great talk about sin and some of the things that really stuck out to me i want to share.
a sin is any act, any thought, desire, emotion, word, or deed- or absence of a deed that displeases God and deserves blame. Sin is our tendency to choose against God. Sin is failure to enjoy God.
SIN IS SELF CHOSEN SLAVERY.
We are either the Lords or we are fighting for the enemy.
When we choose against God in sin, we ally ourselves with satan.
Sin is insanity.
the good news is- when your sin is great, your savior can also be great.
i have more to add to this post but i am out of time. hopefully il get to update it soon.
