| After coming back from Renewal's congregational retreat has been a good experience as you get so busy caught up in your busy day, by which I mean sinning, that you rarely get a chance to reflect on God and repent. How often we live our days without looking upon God at which point you are living selfishly for your own goals and plans and "acting" Christian saying, "God please bless MY plans" when in actuality, your plans are meaningless. Instead we need to remember to live according to His plan, and even when we come to that realization, we become impatient asking God to show what He has in store for us.
Even though I've been using inclusive pronouns, I am largely referring to how the retreat affected me. The primary thing that will stick to me from the retreat is that "The core of your sin is unbelief in a faithful God." God does not need me to give Him glory, yet He still chooses to do so and He has given me testimonies of how He has shown Himself to me, and how He has used me to bless others. And that as sinful of a person I am, you are no better than me so that none can boast, nor do we have the righteousness to judge others. YET, when God looks at us there is justice not because of what we have done but because Jesus has lived that perfect life and stands before God to say, "You told me that if I lived a perfect life and die on the cross that this man/woman will be justified through me."
The reason why I titled this as WDJD is from when Pastor Steve got me thinking about when he said WWJD - We Want Jack Daniels jokingly...(I don't actually remember why he said that) but to help us realize that as it is good to look at Jesus' life and remind us what He would have done, in actuality we already know He lived a perfect life, He tells us to flee from temptation. By thinking What Would Jesus Do, all we are doing is giving ourselves two options, sin or not sin. Honestly, by our own efforts we will end up just failing and falling into our sins. Instead I challenge you to think What DID Jesus Do? when faced with trials. By looking upon the cross and what he has already done for us can give us better focus as we break down and repent but find joy in a faithful God that by following Him we WON'T sin if we're living in the Spirit~!

| Hmm...been a good while since i updated about a game. So i been playing Street Fighter: Third Strike (SF:3s) at work for some time now. Here's a screen shot of a decent accomplishment that i've never achieved before. Not sure if there's a grade higher than it...seems like there can be if my Tech and EX Points were higher, though i Tech-ed a lot...2nd stage with me as Hugo vs Sean...if it was later stage, could've had more Tech points...oh wellz:
