Reflection on what I've been Learning

"Sprouts and Grows", is a phrase from the passage Mark 4:26-29. I find myself connecting with these words and using them as a theme for my training phase. I want to discover and grow in my relationship with the LORD. Hearing the voice of God and trianing myself to constantly be in communication with him is something that is challanging me. How do I apply this to my life, and how does this change the way I am living? Another area that I have been stretched in is surrendering the fear of "what God is going to ask me to do". In Mark 5:1-20 when Jesus casts out the demons of Legion, the people see the power of Jesus and are afraid. So they plead with Jesus to leave, but by doing this they missed out on a huge blessing of his words of life and power. I don't want to push what God has in store for me away because of fear. So I'm learning to surrender that. Being away from home and my normal routine has allowed me to start to discern the direction of where God wants me to be, and right now waiting with future plans and growing in my relationship with the LORD is where I feel him giving me a peace. I'm very at peace here at TREK and learning alot as well as being challanged alot. I'm looking forward to see the new things that are going to sprout in me and the people around me aswell as watching us grow in the new aspects in out lives.
