This picture was taken at Hume Lake camp in 2008. It represents a time of change, refocusing and renewal. It definitely was also a time for all of us (students and leaders alike) to "turn off" all the distractions and busyness of life and take a rest. This was during worship time. For me it represents the spirit of the poem below.
When you just want the phone to ring
put it down
turn it off
open the Bible and start to read.
When you just want someone to answer
put it down
turn it off
close your eyes and take a knee.
When all you want is that one person
ask yourself:
"Would this person die for me?
Or would they do even less for me?"
Reconsider the pursuits of your heart.
Redirect the objects of your affection.
Invest in what is eternal.
Seek the face of Jesus.
Umm....did you write this? Because...yeup, you got it right...Wow! I am bedazzled by the beauty God gives us in depicting our thoughts, emotions, etc through words. sentences. poems. creations.
