The questions asked to EVERY trainee by drivers, barneys, or students. I admit, I'm so guilty for asking it... as if something is WRONG that needs to "be fixed." I'm a guy... I fix stuff.
1. awareness of what you are feeling and doing
2. Asking the "why"/ what's going on (motivation) question
3. liking the gospel and emotional health
4. getting rid of our glittering images.
I feel the beginnings of a trainee float here... Like Reid said when we started this book, I think it affirms what the camp already does.
I find myself thinking back to the trainee floats experienced over the years. The incredible thing that I have witnessed, with trainee's and myself as a participant, is how houseboats can incubate this journey, and how it can be lived out on and off the water. Every so often I read Facebook updates of former staff who will mention their time on the water and how Christ uses this camp to show us how BIG He is! For years, and years, and years, He has used water, boats and relationship with Him to draw so many!
The end of Chapter 5 reminds me of the last question of trainee float...
"The determining factor in our relationship with God is not our past or present record or performance. It is Jesus' past record that has been credited to my account as a gift." (TEHC pg. 85)
The Journey!!! No there isn't anything wrong with my eyes... yes I have been crying... and no it isn't because of onions! I'm journeying with Jesus!
I'm excited to see where Chapter 6 goes! Blog you later.
"The determining factor in our relationship with God is not our past or present record or performance. It is Jesus' past record that has been credited to my account as a gift." (TEHC pg. 85) Andy!! This one got me too! This screams total redemption! Thank you, Jesus, that you don't keep score of our wrongs! Thank you for sharing this, Andy!
