lips of an angel
back from leadership camp. it's different. different from the ones i've attended back in high school. this one's less comfortable, less expensive, but nevertheless, an atmosphere of exuberance and love.
there's the urgecy to move on. people are motivated and encouraged to take up roles of leadership for god - stepping out of the pit, a comfortable place you've made out for yourself, into the wilderness of leadership.
i've always viewed leadership as prostituting ones' life in exchange for nothing. you give up your rights; rights to reject any church activities. you give up your time; time that could be spent with yourself and friends; time that could be spent having fun. you give you your life; life which is your rights and time.
during altar call, there was THE prompting. i responded, but at the end of it, i questioned if it could be the pseudo environment that has got me responding postively. however, it could really be the Holy Spirit.
my decision was to go with the latter.

shockingly spiritual of you, but nevertheless touching that you actually still have a belief. - Crystalala
Amen!....continue to seek Him in all that You do. Even if you're sure. Continue to pursue Him, pursue His dream for you. Press in, never give up... You will find the promise that awaits...
As God starts you on this amazing journey, there are some things that will have to be left behind. As you step into leadership, you become a new self, an example.
