FINALly

Finals... the final finals. Crazy. I'm crazy to be blogging.

My roommate said something I'm thinking is quite profound. Kevin's theory is: what we are afraid of is what we worship. I think there's gobs of truth in that.

I'm learning to see conviction as a gift of grace from God. In his mercy God is kind enough to show us how we are screwing up, how we are walking from God... Conviction is the beginning of the means of drawing closer to Christ again. I used to dread and avoid conviction... as if it betrayed me and my secret that I wasn't perfect. Except, it actually was no secret that I wasn't perfect. That secret got out long ago... so I'm done trying to preserve and protect it... and now I am learning to welcome conviction with open arms... this conviction that is from a good and loving God and Holy Spirit who wants to be close and intimate with me.
