Use it or Lose it!

This weekend was really refreshing. I went to a retreat in Asheville, NC, put on by the Christian Legal Society. The food at the retreat center was excellent. On Saturday, I impressed myself by skiing down a pretty steep slope. This was my second time skiing. If only someone had videotaped me when I tumbled and flipped, regained my composure, and continued down the mountain like nothing happened. The person behind me said it looked really cool. Of course, I didn’t do it on purpose.

At the conference, I was encouraged by speakers to study hard, persevere, and pursue God’s will for my life. It is amazing how God calls each of us to a specific task so that we can partake in His Kingdom building and serve others. I was surprised to meet so many other law students that claim Christ as their Lord and Savior.

The message at Grace OPC’s Sunday evening worship was also timely. The guest pastor knows Pastor Hughes. He preached on Mark 4:21-25. He reminded me that I need to be disciplined in listening to preaching. I also need to be disciplined for gospel service.

For whoever has, to him shall more be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. – Mark 4:25

He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much… – Luke 16:10
