Altar to remember

God loved each of us enough to leave the riches of heaven and reside in the utter poverty of this earth.
He didn't even come to an earthly palace. Nor did He come as someone who merited the world's respect.
Imagine: God came to earth as a nobody in hopes of making you somebody.
But on most days it doesn't even seem as if you care.

Each morning God calls out to us- but most of the time we are too busy
to notice or too self-absorbed to care. We take Christ's sacrifice on Calvary's cross lightly.
We are consumed with thoughts of everything we want, and we fail to realize we already have more than we could ever need.
-Shannon Kubiak
Let us constantly remind ourselves of GOd's amazing love for us.
I mean really, really put in in your hearts.

PeaceHaven Hiatus

Am back from CF camp! This time, being in the core committee has not only exposed me to the drill and thrill of management but also made me see things more differently.It was a whole new experience, and most tiring as well.

Somehow in the midst of planning for camp, I forgot to sharpen my stones and ended up taking this wrong turn and got lost for a while. I was so busy worrying about the schedule and the campers' welfare that I forgot my whole reason for coming to camp- that is to seek God and know Him so much more.

But even when my vision was blurred and my heart weakened, GOd never ceases to amaze me and draw me to the core of His heart. God hit me with His presence the last night. ANd I never thought I'd come to this but I realised that I was being more of a Martha than a Mary. And to miss out on the one thing that matters most in our lives, is just so depressing.

This camp has been filled with mixed emotions, new friends, junk food and bananas.

Thus leaving me with a jouney of R.I.C.E ahead.

Let's all try R.I.C.E!!!

Remaining In Christ Everyday!
