Oneighty and Prioritizing
2004-11-10 @ 8:25 a.m.
Last night was Oneighty. It was awesome. Cory spoke, and he was just passionate about what he spoke. He spoke some about church-hoppers, and how when you hop from church to church to church, it's like digging up a plant and placing it in a new pot, and the plant doesn't have time to grow roots. He talked about how we need to be faithful and serve our church family.
The part about serving my church family hit home with me. I did adopt a block ages ago, but now I want to do it again, but I just haven't done it. So now I'm re-inspired. Adopt a block is an outreach thing, where we go door-to-door passing out food, and just loving people. There's also a small dream center here, kind of like the big one in LA.
We are the body of Christ, and it's not just about taking, taking, taking, it's about serving, as well. God wants to fill us up completely with Him, so that we can give completely to others.
Also, God's been speaking to me about prioritizing. I need to sift through a lot of the things in my life that I'm doing or want to be doing, but I'm not really sure what. But, above all, GOD IS MY FIRST PRIORITY. Speaking of which...I need to go spend some quality time with Him. Luv ya alls!!!!!!!
