What this is all about.

This weekend I went to an even called “Acquire the Fire”. It’s a retreat for youth and young adults. It is basically like church to the 100th power. It’s extremely fun; there is amazing worship, dramas, concerts, workshops, speakers, comedians and spending time with friends. ATF never fails to be amazing, and life changing. I have been going for the past three years, and the main theme for this year was “Normal is not enough”. Every year I learn so much, and feel so connected with God. It’s a spiritual high every time, and it never fails to suck coming back home to normal life. The high goes away and I start feeling like crap and weighed down again. This year I want to stay connected with God and Start really living for him and give him my life as he gave me his.
You might ask. “What’s wrong with being normal?” Well normal is just blending in and doing what everyone else is doing. Because I clame to be a Christian Jesus says to us that he wants to make us holy through him. Holy means to be set apart and to be separated form the rest. Well normal is not going to be enough for me anymore. I don’t want to be another weak person who does not let their beliefs change them. I want to give God all of me and live only for him. I have been living for myself for way to long now, and I have done nothing but fail over and over trying to fill this void I feel, this emptiness that a need to fill. I’m tired of feeling alone. I want to experience the only thing that will ever fully satisfy me. Jesus Christ.  I’m going to blog about what happens, and my feelings about letting go of myself and journeying through God’s Word. Letting go of the normal and standing out.
