anxiousness

This is what God has been teaching me about lately.

What do I have to be anxious about?

Being worried about my first week back at work and seriously being freaked out today as I sat in my truck before work today. Even though I've done this job before I got really freaked out.
What about girls and the worries they bring to the table?
Friends whose relationships with have deteriorated over the last few months?

And just when I finish praying this morning and God brings forth a peace for the day, I get an email. And now for X amount of time I'm left in the unknown and it scares the crap out of me.

Is this God teaching me to continue to give it all to Him and not to worry because it won't add a second to my life to worry? Is satan pushing harder cause he's found my button?

Probably both. Continuing to trust God even through the scary times that lead into a summer of unknown.
I'm scared. But I'm praying and trusting

SuCo Day 3

I skipped over day two. Not that nothing important or crucial occurred on this day, but I'm today has been more thought provoking.
I absolutely love the music team for our large group. You can tell they mean the words they are singing. Do I always mean the words I'm singing?
The large group topic has been sanctification, and God has been hitting hard to me on that. I need to do a much better job at killing all sin in my life.
Humility-thinking much less of yourself, and more about others. I've sucked at that recently.
Went to the dating/relationships seminar today. Now I feel ready to date. I'm not. But I'm in my head as usual.
Jesus loves the Church not because she is beautiful, but Jesus loves her despite all the filth that occurs, and that is what makes her beautiful.
I've sucked at making meaningful conversations recently.
I've sucked at being vulnerable with people. And now its super scary.
I love the beach, God is moving and teaching. Tomorrow I'm spending time at the beach with just me in God listening and talking. It needs to happen.
But I am so blessed by the friends I have in ruf, and I'm going to miss them this summer.
Time to go back out and dance the night away, ruf style!

Summer Conference day 1

It took us two days, 17 hoursish total to get here, except it felt short. Beautiful beaches. Awesome group of people. And God.

Sanctification is the main topic this week during large groups and im stoked to learn more about it.

I need to get to know everyone else in our group better. And I will starting at breakfast.

Don't Forget

I forgot. I forgot what happened on that trip. I forgot that God kept us in Dallas instead of sending us to Haiti. I forgot what God did on that trip. How He worked through me. How He worked through others. How He brought our team together. The conversations I had. I forgot that on this trip I gave my testimony for the first time. How God brought me out of that wickedness and filth, and made me clean again. I forgot that I made a pledge that I wouldn't forget. Were they empty words? Not at the time, but they seem to be now. I forgot about my plans for after the trip. The labels on the water bottles. Oh, is that why I have a hundred water bottles in my truck, I forgot.

I've been forgetful lately too. Forgetting to read my Bible. Forgetting to spend time with God. Forgetting to pray for my friends. Forgetting to memorize scripture. Forgetting to challenge myself and others. Forgetting who really is Michael Minshew. The servant. The friend. The listener. Where is he? Sure, I still am these things sometimes, but I feel like I've sucked at it recently. Where did he go? I've been questioning a lot recently and it scares me. There isn't enough time in the day to figure this crap out.

I forgot. I hope you've done a better job at remembering than I have.

Study Break on NHL

Another glitch while playing Luke, it was a goal, even though I was winning 6-1

NHL At Night

Luke was pretty mad when I tied it up with 12.8 seconds to go.
