A FEW IDEAS ABOUT WHAT TO WRITE
Keep this phrase in mind and you will rarely struggle for what to write:
"Pay attention to your heart and record what you hear."
The cross stood in center of our sancturary surrounded by rows for the worshippers.
I could barely speak, and no words from the choruses were heard from my lips.
The words recorded in my journal captured a part of what I heard my heart say that special evening. My Good Friday prayer went something like this:
"Oh, Lord, help me to retain the image of the cross here in church this evening. The cross. The wine. There's something about being at the foot of the cross, Lord.
It is totally humbling -- mixed with a deep sense of gratitude.
Let me 'see Mike Aviles World Baseball Classic Jersey ,' Lord. Not too much, but enough to inspire. Yes, even demand, a recommitment of my total person to You -- no matter what.
In Jesus' name: *only,* in His name. Amen."

I wrote not for publication. I simply recorded my heart's attempt to take in the "majesty" and agony of the cross.
My students routinely humble and inspire me. They touch my heart.

Not long ago several of the statements I received became a part of my journal.
Consider how I felt as my reading pace slowed down while I read...
"My life purpose is to love Christ, grow in Christ, share Christ, serve Christ through His church Roberto Perez World Baseball Classic Jersey , and to lead my family and others to do the same."
"My life aim is to lead people to know God intimately and to serve him passionately."
