We have been blessed to spend time at our church camp this week, getting refreshed and spending time with friends growing in the Lord. Our children love being here too!
We have been sitting under some wonderful speakers: Rev. Jeff Getz (serving in New York City), Rev. John Gregory (serving in Mishawaka, IN) and Dr. Dennis Engbrecht (serving at Bethel College). Our children have really enjoyed "Miss Judy" Masterson and "Miss Mari" Rice.
Notes from my Journal:
From one of John Gregory's talks. Foundational Truths of Forgiveness
- forgiveness is a journey, not an event
- forgiveness does not require forgetting
- forgiveness causes pain to gradually decrease, not disappear
- forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same thing
From one of Dennis Engbrecht's talks on Revival. Ten Steps for Personal Revival (A. W. Tozer)
- Get thoroughly dissatisfied with yourself
- Prepare for a sweeping transformation in your life
- Put yourself in the way of blessings
- Do a thorough job of repenting
- Make restitution where possible
- Bring our life in accord with the Bible
- Be serious minded
- Deliberately narrow your interests
- Begin to witness
- Have faith in God
