WOW!

It is the eve of Homecoming week at WKU and I am starting to feel the stress already. I have some awesome individuals that have agreed to help out this year, but still me being me I am worrying about the week already. Part of my worry is that this year the BCM is paring up with two other ministries. We are reuniting the BCM and CSF yet again, but for the first time we are paring with the Catholic Campus Centre. I am really excited to see the Baptist and Catholics working together on WKU campus to glorify Jesus. My worry is that the BCM will not do it part in the work that is required. When we get together we have a problem of not wanting to work but play the whole time. Especially while working on the float.

I know that I should not worry about any of this but I just love the whole week of Homecoming that I want it to fun for others as well.

OK so with that last statement I have been convicted. I forget all that time that I should live my life to bring others into the family of God. That is our great mission and I get caught up in the stuff of this world and forget to make it about HIM. This is a very sobering thought. I now must commit to making this week of fun into one that is fun focused on HIM who paid the ultimate price for my shortcomings. To do so I must step out of my box and make connections with others who do not know Christ as their LORD and Savior. Along with that I must be sure that all my conversations are spoken in love for the one I am speaking to even when they get on my last nerve.

In searching I found this verse that remind of what I should be doing this week! It comes from 1Corinthians 13:1

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

That shall be the banner that I carry with me all week long.
