Ok.........too much to soak in!

So these past few days have been crazy learning time! Today, Philip Serez spoke to us! Some of you South Texas peeps know Philip from the good ole SOAR days, but for those of you who don't know who he is, he is currently the MBMSI regional mobilizer for eastern Canada. He was a big part of SOAR going down to South Texas for many years.
He spoke to us about our "Identity in Christ." He made us imagine that if we were in a path, and we had to choose 1 out of 2 paths, which one would it be? The 2 paths were "Pleasing God," or "Trusting God." On the pleasing God path, we try to do the religious thing and do things for God, to love Him, to maybe somehow make Him love us more, or be considered more. And the trusting God is about realizing that the reason we are who we are is because of Him, because of grace, because of His unconditional Love for us.....no matter what!
I will write some more later, but just thought I'd update before going to bed. :D
Blessings and Shalom!
