Seeing a new movement planted and growing makes me think of...
...exciting times, because I feel like in my staff experience I have not seen a movement launched and grown. ~danny
Because my life is role model to students I am commited to...
...seeking the Lord with all of my life and surrendering to Him. This thought has been recurring in mind for the last year, and has been good to think and pray about. The Lord has really met me and provided great avenues to think and discuss this within and without the team. ~ danny
Seeing a new movement planted and growing makes me think of...
...the Gospel going forth. It also makes me think that God is using my life and our team to further the Gospel.
Because my life is a role model to students, I am committed to...
...walking well with Christ, not drinking in front of them, loving my wife the way Jesus loves the Church, studying the Word regularly.
Paul said to "follow me as I follow Christ" and when I tihnk about asking a student to follow me as I follow Christ, I...
...feel the weight of responsibility to avoid sin and wickedness.
Watching a student share their faith with another student is...
...affirming to what God has called me to. I don't often get to see this, but it is really encouraging when it happens.
Getting students to participate in a small group is like...
...trying to sell a used car. I feel like I have to really explain why this is going to be of value to him in particular.
When I feel disappointed with God, I ....
...try and figure out what He has for me that I'm missing. I think of this often in times of doing MPD. When it doesn't come in when we want it to, I can feel disappointed with God. But, I remind myself that He knows what we need and has NEVER failed to provide for us.
I have found myself clinging to some of the promises of God this year ...
I have really clung to the promise of God that we can know Him. I have struggled to delve into Him this year. Nicole has struggled with this to a greater degree than I have, but it has not been easy to talk with the Lord. He has been gentle with me allowing me to discover His promise that although He is unknowable and to great to even have one name, we can know Him. I have clung to this promise without even realizing it. When I have been angry with God and allowing myself to vent my feelings to Him, He has not rejected me or said depart from me. He has gently reminded me that I have a place at His feet and in His arms for me always. I have enjoyed this gracious attitude of the Lord. I pray that this same grace flows from my heart. ~ danny
