Wow, it has been a really long time since I've blogged about anything...hopefully this summer will be different. The goal is that this summer will be different for a lot of things. I need to work on being a more disciplined person. I need to be spiritually disciplined in my personal life so that I can help other people and be an example to other people in their walks. The Lord has showed me countless examples of how a person cannot grow or help others if they themselves are not abiding in Christ. Scott DeGroff, a very challenging and amazing preacher, once shared with me, "When there is sin in the camp there is no fruit on the tree." He was speaking about Joshua and how when there was sin in the camp they did not win the obvious battles that they should have won. We cannot produce fruit like the Lord has called us to do when we have sin in our lives.
My challenge to myself this summer is to be spiritually disciplined so that I can abide in Christ. As I byproduct of that I would like to help others grow in their faith as I walk through life with them.
