Vantage Point

Week 25
Winter Meltdown #6 (the last one) is officially over.
Disappointingly, I got quite sick and spent most of it in bed. I was pretty bummed. I like being out there, meeting people, playing games, and going nuts.
Vantage Point has been the theme of Winter Meltdown. It is all about looking at everything; the world, people, yourself from God's perspective instead of our own limited perspective. You can probably guess that since the beginning of WM this idea of vantage point has been showing up everywhere and  I was quickly reminded again this weekend.
Even though I was bummed to be missing out, I realized that these weekends aren't about me. None of it is. God gets glory whether I'm dancing in the crowd or throwing up at home. From my bed, I could hear the whrr of the zipline, music, and the buzz of excitement. Those same sounds that made me feel like I was missing out are the same sounds that please God. From God's vantage point, those are the sounds of His great plan. He is in control. and He doesn't need me.
That's right I said it. He doesn't need me.
"The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,  nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything" (Acts 17:24-26). 
I am the one who needs Him. How easily we forget.
