Washed Clean

I have been lacking on updates and I apologize. I do have a really cool piece of information to tell you. I went to Camp Awana a few weeks ago for Solid Ice the high school co-ed weekend. During the weekend I got to hang out with some of my camp friends I don't see very often. It was alot of fun. The cool story I want to share is that two high school kids from my youth group accepted Jesus as the savior and became Christians. That made the weekend a success. I think of it now because I was out doing window washing today on a new account. (If you are in the need of a new piano check out Steinway of Chicago in Highland Park.)
This building's windows hadn't been washed in a long time. I've been keeping my eye on the building as it was getting rented out. In washing the windows today I saw just how scummy they were. One of the cool things I love about my window washing jump is the instant gradificaiton of making a dirty window clean. Very few jobs have the kind of results where you can instantly see the fruits of the labor. As I was washing the windows and seeing the dirt come off I was thinking alot about the thing that God has been putting on my heart lately and that is to rediscover the gospel daily. What I mean by rediscover the gospel is to every day stop and really dwell on the grand scale of love and mercy that we have received from God through the cross. The amazing gift we have been given through the cross blows me away and I don't want to forget it. God has washed us clean and made us new and shiny. And he continually does it, even when we get dirty and full of sin, all we have to do is ask for forgiveness and he makes us clean.
This all seems kinda rambling but I've been very excited about my new brother and sister. I hope that this entry has reminded you if you are a Christian that God is awesome and loves you and the gospel is amazing and we can NOT gloss over it.

Much love and blessings,
Tim
