A vision

While on Spokefolk in MA, one thing we did was "take 5." Basically it was a 5 minute retreat of silence. Not nearly as cool as a 3 hour one you'd take up at Cedar, but it was enough for God to speak to me. I was struggling with a few things at the moment. I close my eyes and tried focusing on God and praying, but there was this wall in the way. This wall was made up of things things pointing at me. These things were doubt and frustration and everything else that was telling me I'm not good enough and I am not a good leader on this trip. I felt worthless. But behind this wall of crap I saw a figure standing there. I verbally said "I need you Jesus" and this figure crashed through the wall like a bowling ball. Pretty sure that was Jesus.

There are plenty of other things going on in life that point their fingers and me and tell me I'm not good enough. Verbally saying "I need you Jesus" has gotten me through many of those struggles. I hope this can be somewhat of an encouragement to you reading this. Know that Jesus loves you, cares for you, and desires to crash through the wall of your issues and come in to save the day. He is walking next to you all the time. When you only see one set of footprints in the sand it's not yours. Jesus is carrying you.
