God is not looking for burned-out, guilt-ridden evangelists to change the world.
Instead, God is looking for people who are madly in love with his Son,
experience him as the best joy in all the world and therefore cannot contain their joy in God.
That is what it means to be sent as a witness.

i was so excited when i saw a note from my english professor that class was cancelled today! i finalllly got to watch heroes on tv..
Actually i only saw up to like episode 12 or something.. so everything that happened then until today.. i skipped everything in the middle..
who is this Hope girl?? i was lost on that… and then Peter was fighting this guy with pigeons?? How did the cheerleader and her father’s relationship change so much?
i dunno..i was lost on a lot of those things… -.-
OK..so i was actually waiting for ren or brian to make fun of me.. but i will go ahead and make fun of myself.. lol
Yesterday at church i was playing table tennis with John..and he wasn’t really playing too well. So he picked up the ball and was like bouncing it..
“does it not have enough air?” i said… then John gives me the weirdest look ever. “doesn’t it inflate?” i said ….
Then he just started bursting out into laughter. Got brian and Ren’s attention.. and repeated what i said. hehehe…
What? I really thought ping pong balls didn’t last forever lol… should i die my hair blonde? ^^
For your heart that loves me,
For your feet that pursue me,
For your voice that calls out to me,
I thank you, O God.
Thank you for raising the questions
that draw me into a dialogue with you
about my life and how I have been living it.
Thank you for every tug of conscience
that has led to every timid step
that has brought me out in the open
in my relationship with you.
My hope, O God, my only hope,
is that you are more persistent in your seeking
than I am in my hiding.
-Ken Gire
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” – Genesis 3:8-9
Do we seek God or does He seek us?
I’ve read from many text that this question is theological? But that what we do discover is that all the while we have been pursuing God, he has been rushing toward us with reckless love, arms flung wide to hug us home. While we’re crying out, “Where are you, God?” the divine voice echoes through our hiding places, “Where are you?” This verse reminds me that since the Garden of Eden, God calls out first, and to this we answer.
