favorite day

Sunday: the best day, the Sabbath, a day of rest, full of worship and praise, prayerful and prophesying.  Sunday is the day I look forward to each week, it is the light at the end of a stressful week or it is a pick-me-up after a week spent without holding God's hand or it is a remembering of the blessings God bestowed on me early in the week; whatever Sunday takes the shape of, it is always a day of reflection, of looking in the mirror of the past, with God beside me showing me just how He is working in my life.

Today, this Sunday, despite the looming deadline of paper and Ochem assignments, will be a grand day of reflection. Today, I will be reminiscing about the fabulous runs through the city of Madison with teammates, no more than that,- friends.  I will be pondering the seemingly endless classes filled with new knowledge.  I will be thinking over moments of service.  I will be remembering fun-filled times with friends.  I will be meditating on the love I was shown by those surrounding me.  I will be praying over how I chose to spend my time this past week.

Today, I am a part of a greater mission.  After attending church this morning at Blackhawk Downtown, I have been charged to help bring HOPE to the world.  Because of Jesus' resurrection after His death on the cross I have been given an immeasurable hope.  My duty, my destiny is encompassed and intertwined with this amazing hope.  I only hope that the Spirit can lead me in this quest.

Today, part of my mission is the Young Life Sun Prairie Dessert Night.  Today with the help of God the community of Sun Prairie will get to experience Young Life's way.  I pray that God works and changes the hearts of the people of Sun Prairie to see how much the high schoolers and middle schoolers grow not only as young adults but as Christ followers.  I am so thankful that I had the amazing opportunity in high school to be involved in Young Life and that now I have an amazing purpose in becoming a friend, mentor, and fellow believer in Christ with these high school girls.

Sunday, today, will be magnificent.
