Dear friendsI would like 2 keep u up 2 date on whats happening here in Chiang rai.Ive been back for almost 3 weeks and its going 2 take me some time getting use 2 things again...The discipleship training school starts in January 08, so we are having staff training now.Had a 'survivor like" Niko camp last week, the camp mainly focussed on team work, it was really hard, but God carried me through...Im already learning alot about myself and my teammembers.I just praise God for each and everyone of you that made it possible for me 2 come back here!!!Im busy reading the Barbarian way by Erwin Raphael Mc manus and this paragraph just stood out for me, its like i can really relate 2 what he's talking about; " We created a religion using the name of Jesus Christ and convinced ourselves that God's optimal desire for our lives was 2 insulate us in a spiritual bubble where we risk nothing, sacrifice nothing, lose nothing, worry about nothing.Yet Jesus death wasnt 2 free us from dying, but 2 free us from the fear of death. Jesus came 2 liberate us so that we could die up front and then live.
Jesus Christ wants 2 take us 2 places where only dead men and women can go....."Ever since coming back it feels like ive had 2 die to myself more each day!!! Its been so hard for me but everytime i feel like giving up i ask myself the question; Rather than living a long life, am i willing to live a life worth living?I want 2 die more to myself so that God can shape and mould me.....I dont want 2 count the days of my life, instead i want my days 2 count!!!Thanx for all your support and prayers...
Megan
