beautiful disaster

Just came back from YMLC and surprisingly am not shacked even though it's 10 pm at night and I slept at 4:30 am this morning after two completely idiotic games of bluff with the Barker people. I was falling asleep throughout the day, though, and I nearly didn't make it down in time for breakfast.

All in all, I'm thankful for the three days of rest I had in JB. It wasn't rest per se, what with Hannah dragging us off to the mall downstairs and both of us making a huge ruckus when Yado and YaoZhang used our toilet and then tried to mask the smell by putting sugar in the toilet bowl, but I'm glad for the chance to get away from studies and clear my mind. I think that allowed God to speak to me and bring to mind issues He wanted me to deal with.

It's a huge paradox, this walk with God, because things are so simple yet so difficult. I didn't discover any new truths during the three days, but I did come across fresh ones, and it's those same truths seen in a different light that bring us one step closer to God and one step closer to understanding our identity in Him.

My Destiny
Psalm 46 (NASB)
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

There is river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
