| We sometimes work extra hard to define how we are to relate to God. It is a tragedy that we think we can wrap our arms around everything God is, then be satisfied that we have Him right where we want Him.
We do the same with elements of our faith, such has communion, baptism, worship, and those other fuzzy areas that aren't so easy to totally understand. While there are guidelines to them, it isn't the process that makes them critical. It is the experiential nature of them, and their boundless potential to engage with God, that makes them timelessly amazing.

| I sometimes write my prayers in my journal during worship. I feel close to God when I do this. Elevation was great tonight. Here was part of what I wrote.
God,
Let not anxiety suck me dry. You are my peace and my strength. Straighten my paths. Go ahead of me to withhold the hands of those who would detract our mutual dream for my existence. You are my shield. Capture my imagination. Make me to see life through eyes that are superhuman. Your thoughts in my brain like film. Timeless. Raw.
Thanks again for being You.

| I attended Friday Night Fire this past week. This was definitely not the same meeting as it once was. That age is done - not happening again.
Yet - the difference is refreshing. In the midst of MYC changing so much over the last three months (and if you blinked, you missed it), the prayers are more earnest. The desires more genuine.
Leadership has changed a lot.
Attitude is almost everything.

| I've had a pretty trying week. It helps to think to myself that one day, I'll look back at this week and smile.
