How Still Should One Be???




I know I have not blogged in a long time, I am sorry. So figured I would throw something new and see what YOU have to say.

I have had something important in prayer for about 9-10months now. I get a yes answer from God. But when I ask when, he just says be patient, still, relax. Don’t worry about what it is that is in prayer some of you know what it is, what matters is how still should one be? I mean God does require that we do certain things for example if you pray for patience you get the opportunity to have patience. So when God says to you be still and know that I am God, when he says did I not tell you if you believe you will see my glory, when he says why do you worry, did I not say have faith. These are obviously not direct quotes but are the scriptures God has thrown in my face time and time again over the last few months regarding my prayer. But my question still remains how still does one have to be? I know for a fact that I am not still enough as a close friend proved to me last week. As every time I am not still enough I seem to mess things up a bit. So you tell me how still should one be when God says BE STILL.


God bless you guys always,
Jesse

Camp Life



For the last week I have been at camp with FRC students and other leaders as well as 100s of other Students from all over the US. It was an amazing experience to see so many teen age students worshiping our living Lord. I pray that what they felt at camp they take with them for life and not leave it at the dorms. So many were touched by our Lord and you can see it in their eyes as they paid attention to what God had to say through the speaker they had every day.



Sawgrass representing at REC time, i was happy to be able to spend extra time with some of our sawgrass students like, Katie, Cecilia and Simone as well as Craig one of sawgrass student leaders. Katie, Simone, and Cecilia were in my family group and it was awesome to be able to have bible study with them during the week as well as having them pray out loud during our prayer time each evening. I was very impressed with their participation during bible study and rec time.




Future Sawgrass leader the young man in the black shirt and sunglasses is Justin he was in our family group and by the end of our time together he cam up and asked me if he could volunteer at sawgrass. This young man has a heart for God and knows how big and power ful Jesus is. Justin I cant wait to have you on board!!!

Am I tired? Yes. Did I lose my voice from screaming? Yes. But This was truly a great experience for all the students and leaders alike. After all the smiles, cries, laughter, hugs, cheers and lack of rest I can truly say I would do all this again in a heartbeat. God bless each and every single student who was at this camp and may he help them on his narrow path. In Jesus Name Amen.
