The RIGHT stuff…Politically InCorrect

Recap

Thinking

The last two weeks have been amazing. Teenpact National Convention was challenging and encouraging. God used that week to show me some things I need to work on and why. One of my faults is understanding concepts mentally, but not connecting them to my heart and following through with that. When it comes to Apathy, while I see it as the enemy I often find myself slipping into it with my relationships.

I feel like Paul when he said “I do the things I don’t want to do, and don’t do the things that I want to do.” It all relates to where our focus is. One of the speakers stated that sometimes you can be so involved in something “good” that you lose your focus on God. As a result, everything starts going downhill.

Over the last few months I’ve come to realize the validity of that statement. Once you take your eyes off God or have a skewed interpretation of who He is the result will be in everything else going wrong. While I knew that mentally, up until I’d experienced it there wasn’t a connection between my intellect and my heart.

Last week I started making that connection and the consequences are making perfect sense now. Thank God for His mercy and forgiveness.

Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You’re telling me that there’s no hope.
I’m telling you your wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong

I throw up my hands
“Oh, the impossibilities”
Frustrated and tired
Where do I go from here?
Now I’m searching for the confidence I’ve lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fear

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You’re telling me that there’s no hope.
I’m telling you your wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong

I think I can’t, I think I can’t
But I think you can, I think you can
I think I can’t, I think I can’t
But I think you can, I think you can
Gather my insufficiencies and
place them in your hands, place them in your hands, place them in your hands

    Just stumbled on your page when I was googleing “the politically correct guide to…” anyways didn’t want to invade your privacy so I wasn’t going to read anything. I did however see some key words that caught my eye. You used a Rush-ism “harmless little fuzz ball”. These statements quickly identify Rush-babies, might you be my Rush-sister?
    Anyways, don’t get discouraged, keep fighting the good fight.
    Rush-baby, Nick
