So Centri-Kid is going to be amazing this summer! I am really really really really stoked! This weekend was a lot of fun. Lots of fun with the Fuge Packers. Random thoughts from Caleb... Best Buy and Nicuragua... Bait & Bullets... "we don't have girls, we have mountaineers!"... Phil Mickelson... Everyone was so great, and I hate that we can't be a team this summer, but we're all gonna have a blast!

So God really worked in me this weekend. Through a number of different things... speakers (as in people, not the sound emitting ones), praying and listening, scripture (should be #1), nature... so much spoke to me and I really have thought out a lot of things in life, and I have really come to grips with several things that I'm dealing with right this moment.
1. I will no longer seek to be perfect and better in God's eyes, because I'm redeemed with the blood of Christ, and God no longer gets angry at me...
2. I want to obey, because it pleases God, not because it's an obligation...
3. I want to listen more, and seek how to worship God more through the psalms...
4. I will seek to be closer to Christ than ever before, I will be obsessive about it (I've already been seeking hard after Him, but now it's my obsession.)
So, in those I'm resolute. I'm pumped about it man. I don't know how you couldn't be! God is just like Aslan, from the Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis:
"Is he - quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion."
"That you will, dearie, and no mistake," said Mrs. Beaver; "if there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most or else just silly."
"Then he isn't safe?" said Lucy.
"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver; "don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you."
(The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, pg. 80)

I know that God is dangerous, but I also know that He is good. I want to please Him, even though I know that He isn't safe. He is the King. He is good, and I trust Him...
Ponder that...

Later
