My Spiritual Reservoir

For the last College&Career meeting we were reflecting on our how the Lake Model played out in each of our personal lives. In other words, the question we had to reflect on was, is there a balance between the spiritual input you're getting and the spiritual output you're giving?

For myself, I realized that these last few weeks have been such a blessing. Currently my spiritual life feels balanced; that my spiritual input and my spiritual output have been about equal. I still need to increase my intake of Scripture and my outpouring of prayer, but the spiritual feedings I've been getting from fellowship and discipleship have been so fulfilling. Same goes for my outpouring of witnessing and discipling others.

In more detail, through my discipleship with Pastor Don and Pastor Scott, I've been both challenged and encouraged. Also, with the plethora of knowledge I'm gaining it's really helping me get a better grasp of what I'm doing right and what I need to improve on in terms of my faith and mindset on things.

Also, it's been so encouraging to experience true fellowship these days with brothers and sisters in Christ. Like I mentioned already, with my mentors, then also with Mushroom and Clarence at our Think Tank meetings, and with my small groups (Da Sisterhood and PRIME). As well as Sunny and Erica who I plan to start discipling, and all the other Boonies I've had the privilege of sharing in part of their lives with over the past few weeks (like today after evangelism outreach). Lastly, with the other ISAAC interns, in getting the opportunity to see more of Christ's body at His many different churches. Through all these experiences I think I'm really getting a better sense of what God calls 'fellowship'.

Anyways, need to sleep soon. Tired; sorry if this post wasn't very coherent. Much to do this week. And going to Aruba for vacation next week with the family. Hope to update more later but there's been so much going on these days it's so hard to find the time. =)
