Pain and Guilt at Fuel

Well, it’s been a few days since my last post but a lot has been happening.  I find myself falling into old patterns of non-blogging from before my trip to Europe and so hopefully this will be the beginning of renewed discipline.  We had Fuel again tonight and I must admit that the last two weeks have been really awesome.  This series, called Where The Wild Things Are, I believe, is giving our students the opportunity to have transformational experiences with the Holy Spirit.  One of the things I’ve really enjoyed since coming back from Guinea is a renewed passion in my prayer life.  I find myself praying more and with an intensity and passion that I haven’t enjoyed for a little while.  I have found personally that my expectation for the Holy Spirit to work and move happens most when I am in more vigilant prayer.  It’s a lot easier to pray in the context of a group but lately I have enjoyed the communion of just God and I before our student worship experiences.  God is up to some real good.  He is at work in the lives of our students and I am so thankful for him.

This week we talked about pain and guilt, the idea that we owe God or people something.  Last week we spoke about anger and I watched as people, right on their faces, told the story of anger they had held onto or bitterness about something they were still dealing with.  God has been using these talks, I can see it.

Well, that’s all I’ve got for tonight.  There’s a lot more I would love to say but for now pray that God would give me wisdom and guidance.  There are some major decisions coming up for me both personally and professionally and I need all the discernment I can get!
