Acrosstics

The purpose of the title "Sunday with Jenkins" is that ideally i would like to write here every Sunday. Sorry about last Sunday, i was kinda busy learning how to spell words using bigger much more meaningful words. To those of you who do not understand what i'm saying, you are obviously not a student leader at Liberty University. Our campus pastors love teaching us very deep ideas, using acrosstics. I may be spelling that wrong, but i don't care. I found out by the second day of training, that i absolutely hate acrosstics. I don't know if it is because they're cheesy, or because they take pretty deep issues and cram them into 3 or 4 letter words. Issues that take a long time to explain should not be crammed into 3 or 4 letter words. That is why they take a long time to explain. It isn't all bad though. The week has been fun too, though. Getting to hangout with my girlfriend, my friends from last year and getting to meet and hangout with a great sister dorm. Like i said in my last post, i don't wanna complain or focus on the negative. This week has been really tiring (mentally and physically), but it has been completely worth it. Being a part of a community focused on Christ is more refreshing than most things you could experience ever. People with prayer on the front of their minds, people who refuse to do anything but push you to be better. If you're not surrounding yourself with people like that, you are not seeking the best for yourself. I had one of my brothers come wake me up for a optional morning prayer time. I made excuses as to why i couldn't go, only because i really wanted to just sleep. I was kindly met with a "JENKINS GET UP!" I automatically got up got dressed and went, and it was the most uplifting time of prayer i have had in a long time. I felt closer to God in that time then i had all week. I would have never gone on my own that day, I needed my brother to come and show me tough love. So as this year starts i am going to continue to surround myself with people who will push me closer to God when moving is the last thing i want to do. I am also going to make sure I am being that person for others. So i guess the theme that resonates in my head looking at this post is that there is no such thing as "Christian self-help". Don't ever let anyone tell you different. The point of the Gospel, is that we can't help ourselves.
