21 and still learning

for the last week i've though alot about what david guzik used to say about the mission of the bible college: "we seek to ruin young people for normal life for the sake of christ." and i admit- i've only recently begun to understand what he meant by that.

the Lord has blessed me with opportunities to be a light to my co-workers but the more time spend behind register swiping credit cards and taking people's money the more i realize how lost the world is. i often get comments from customers such as, "girl, why you smilin' all the time?" or "girl, you too polite to be workin' behind that counter. you should work in a hospital or sonething!" (said in u-bonics, of course). it's comments like these that give me an opportunity to share and reach out to people.

"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." 2 Corinthians 3:5-6
