For some reason, theres a particular part of missions training that I can remember so vividly. Like every saturday, we showed up at church to pray and then we all got ready for p.t. which seester always forced us to do. She would also check if we memorized our verses, and if we didn’t, she made us memorize them while we ran at 7 in the morning on a saturday. So pretty much every saturday morning was like this:
As much as I hated it, theres only about one verse that I still remember from those days; Phillippians 4:6-9.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
You can say my life has been in a pretty big transition phase. A lot has changed over a short period of time and God’s really been teaching me and calling me back the hard way. And I definitely didn’t think it would be this difficult but this growth is definitely necessary. For the past couple years of my life, I’ve been way too indifferent about spirituality and I could only outrun it for so long. In conclusion, my prayer is that this verse becomes my conviction and that I can really live this out.
On a side note…
… Friday by Rebecca Black is worst song I’ve ever heard in my life.
… Normally I don’t give much thoughts to natural disasters and stuff but man, my heart goes out to Japan.
Till next time!
