This blog is intended to be a place where Sonshine Staff can share how we are meeting the risen Lord Jesus in new ways as we allow Him to prepare for service this summer.

GIVING IT ALL TO HIM
"when a leader moves through the stages of "this is tough" to "this is exceedingly difficult" to "this is impossible" the leader is sensing the commitment that Christ expects. Christ demands everything he also supplies more than EVERYTHING" I really think this is straight forward and can be scary at times. We choose to believe in what we can do physically and or mentally but to know that Christ will provide EVERYTHING? thats a stretch. But I think that houseboats is definitly a life learning lesson, as well as a test. To give Christ everything we have and when we are exhausted and he demands more yet through all of this he gives us everything. But what caught my attention was it wasnt just everything it was MORE than everything. My dad says that maybe this "more" means more than we can recieve, more than we gave, or more than we will be able to understand. this just goes to show how great Gods love for us is. and it is truly amazing to know that God does that. When we give everything to Him we find in later moments how we find a sense of peace, Joy, Love. But when we dont and we dwell in vain, we only fulfill ourselves in our misery and choose to do things that are not right for us to do. But when we turn to God he gives us more than we gave and gives us a feeling only we can feel by Him. But this isnt something we can do halfway. We have to commit fully to everyday living for Him, following His ways taking up our cross and following Him.
