Glorious Life

Today wrapped up our week at campout. We talked about keeping this momentum we regained at campout and staying more consistent. We talked about the importance of finding the glorious moments in our daily lives; that just changing your perspective the slightest can be all the difference and you will find the glorious things.

We then watched a fabulous clip from The Lion King to remind us to stay focused of our purpose:

"You see, He lives in you!"

"You have forgotten who are you and so you have forgotten me. Look inside yourself. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the circle of life."

"How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be."

"Remember who you are. You are my son. Remember who you are."

"Father. Don't leave me."

"Remember who you are."

So as I get ready to leave here, I will continue to look for those glorious things in my daily life. I will continue to have a glorious hope in things to come. And while I absolutely include you in that hope of things to come, I know there is even more to come as well. I feel rejuvenated from this week. I feel a complete peace with this journey to you. While I still think of you often, it is no longer with the longing sadness or pain. I now think of you with a glorious hope. I now think of that glorious day when we will finally meet you. I leave campout feeling healed and anew. I leave campout with a new perspective in which I will seek out those glorious moments in my daily life. I leave campout not being so focused on myself (and even on you) and what I don't have, but focused completely on Jesus Christ and what He has given me. I leave campout with a spirit of gratitude and pure thanks. I will remember who I am. I have an absolutely glorious life and I know that is only because of Christ.
