I serve in a great youth group. I may only have been to 3 or 4 other youth groups in my lifetime but I firmly believe that this is the best. The thing I really love about New Culture* is the fact that God speaks to Pastor Adrian to use people with diverse giftings. He uses us in the things he know we are passionate in and in turn, bring glory to God for it as well. I mean for one, pastor Adrian saw I had interest in photography and started the New Culture Photography team and it's been going on ever since and even expanded recently! And now there's the New Culture Cafe serving great food by people with an interest in food. I'm sure this cafe will succeed as well :)
I've been thinking about the creativity of God. I believe He is a super creative and meticulous God who is into every element of design. Look at the world, the greenery that surrounds it. The trees with all their leaves, the tree trunk with its highly textured husk and the fields with each individual blade of grass, just to name a few. It stands to reason that if God was not creative, the beautiful hills would just be a triangular block of solid green without any grass. The trees would just be brown cylidrical forms with random poles sticking out on top and layered with green pieces of material. The sky would just be a flat piece of blue with blotches of white (seemingly to resemble clouds) and the water will be a piece of clear blue acrylic. Animals would just be multi-coloured blocks with stilts for legs. But our God is a genius even when it comes to design for He designed this beautiful world with all its intricacies that are just a sight to behold. I believe in my quest as a young designer, I can look to the Ultimate Designer, for design inspiration.
Seventh Day Slumber - Take Everything (Link to Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpNaEzX7W9E)
Verse 1: Another melody Another empty song I tell myself that I have praised you And try and make believe This is all you want But once again I know I’ve missed it Praising you is not just the songs I sing Jesus here I am Take everything
Chorus: Take the pain inside Take the brokenness Don’t stop til there’s nothing left My arrogance My pride The loss of innocence Jesus, take everything
(Repeat Verse 1/Chorus)
Bridge: There’s nothing left I need That’s when I feel alive Holy Spirit fall Fresh upon me You can have it all
School is draining the life out of me. Project after project, so much work and yet so little time. Oh the strains of Final Year are starting to materialize.
"Come to me all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest" - Matthew 11:28
God does not give us overcoming life - He gives us life as we overcome. The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there is no strength.
"In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" - John 16:33
