Wrecked Afresh!

I went to a Leadership simulcast with the Lead team of Element Church this past Tuesday. It's great to be able to take a day off of work and hang out with those guys. We learned a ton from a relatively short session, but one quote repeatedly echoes in my head. Jeff talks about more of what we learned here. Bill Hybels (main simulcast speaker and Willow Creek pastor) refers to a book that he had just read and said, "GOD WRECKED ME AFRESH!" He went on to talk about how it's so important to be re-awakened to the fact that we serve an AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, FAITHFUL, WISE, LOVING, AWESOME (enough adjectives yet?) GOD!

We HAVE TO desire our lives to regularly be "RUINED" from comfort and complacency!

Lately, through books, blogs, sermons, and friends, God has WRECKED ME AFRESH! I have a new and exciting passion flowing through my veins. I am ruined for the life I once lived.

...wasn't all that great anyway.
