I went back to CRU tonight, and was simply blown away. The speaker, Henry Clay, said things that made me think like I hadn't in quite awhile.

I had always dismissed confession, as I am not a Catholic. I never thought about it as not absolution, but just a means of God working through us to relieve us of the guilt of sin. To find someone to share your guilt and embarassment with, and "cut the grass", as it was put, is an idea that appeals to me more than i can really say. It seems that God has shown me what I needed to see, and what I needed to hear, at exactly the right time.

Today, I also saw how effortless God can make something that once seemed like an impossible task.

In three days time, I have gone from almost having forgotten about a job application I put in to having checked on it by a whim, calling and getting an interview, and then having the interview and almost being certain of a job. It's amazing how fast and amazingly God can act, if you learn to be patient. Admittedly, I still have a long way to go.

I'm still amazed. I really hope it never goes away, too.

Is our sin, our good time, worth letting take ahold of us? Or is it easier for us to just give it up and realize that there is a much better good time to be had, if we let it?
