The Adventure Called Life Day 150...chosen...

I am chosen. To think that Christ died and shed his blood for me, so that he might live in me. Ron served communion to the Deeper crew last night, and I have never thought of it this way. Of course I thought of the bread as being Christ's body, but I have never thought of it as a fulfilling of his promise to use us if we surrender to his good and perfect will. Jesus' blood washes us, making us perfectly perfect, and when we accept his body, we are saying to Jesus, live in me, fill me with you and you alone, use me for your purposes and your glory. In some of my classes we have been discussing the body of Christ, and how it is not a metaphor but a reality. I guess I just had a "light bulb" moment last night.

so we are chosen. we are Gods way of proclaiming the Gospel. He desires to use us. us. WOW. he could use more perfect means, but he loves us so much, that he has chosen us to proclaim his hope, his promise, his love and his glory. wow. just wow. Ron said something last night that struck me, we should come undone at that thought. that Christ would use US as his instruments to proclaim the Gospel. wow.

the same power that conquered the grave lives in me lives in me
the same power that rescued the earth lives in me, lives in me

The Adventure Called LIfe Day 129...gentlemen, start your engines...

the four most famous words in racing. that's right. it even includes "gentlemen" and im a girl, and im okay with that. imagine that! LOL...

anyway, NASCAR media day tomorrow morning officially kicks off the 2010 NASCAR season and speed weeks at Daytona International Speedway. oh how wonderful it is indeed!! I am so excited!!

this saturday night is the all-star shootout, formerly known as the Budweiser Shootout, its a race for all the drivers who earned a pole position, which means they qualified first by time for a race in the past season. They race for money, no points, just glory. its pure awesomeness...

anyway, I just wanted to get a quick blog up before my contemporary worship ensemble class, then I have dinner with Paul Reif, and then nothing (oh how good it is to write that) maybe a little homework, then off to DEEPER tonight with my roomies. its a great day.

The Adventure Called Life Day 122...ready, set, go!

second semester starts tomorrow. ugh. im not ready! I want to be busy again, but I don't want to be overwhelmed. I know that I am going to be. I have so many classes. im crazy.

and i have something to confess.

I haven't been dancing. I don't know why, I've been pushing that part away from my thoughts, I don't know if i want to know why. So if you could keep me accountable. ask me how I am doing in this area, if i've danced, or if i've figured out why God has taken this desire away from me.
thank you
