October 11th - 15th

This week Ezra Griffith spoke about Lordship. Lordship is basically telling God any time, anywhere, and place. We learned what it means to give God all of these things and ask Him what He wants to do with it. It was for sure a convicting week. There are so many things that we hold on to and don't want to totally give to God.

One other thing that Ezra covered, which has to do with Lordship, is our work ethics. Some people think they are a good Christian when it comes to the front they put on at church, but the fruit of being a Christian comes out a lot when you are serving. Do you serve cheerfully and unto the Lord? This was convicting for me, especially when Ezra had us do this. He asked us to write down the top 5 things we would want in a dream employee. So I wrote my top 5 things down. Then he asked us if we judge our work off of that, how would we rate ourselves? This was like, oh man, I gotta start improving how I serve. But I can say this week when I had church clean up, which takes forever, I was able to do it with a lot more joy and just got to use that time to talk to God. I ended up getting commended in the end too. That was neat to see that God is already changing me. God is helping me grow so much from my laziness. I still can feel it in me wanting to come out, but God is really helping me overcome that sin and kill it. I have to hate it cause it hurts him.

We also had open mic night this week. This was neat because we got to experience everyones talents. There are many talented people on this Orlando YWAM base.
