PAUSE: a temporary stop

This past week I was blessed with an opportunity to go to church camp with some youth from Pittsburg as a sponsor. A group of young adults served as staff members (the pastor, the Bible study leaders, the support staff, and the directors) with a ministry called Clear Camps; and for this year’s summer of camps the theme was “Pause.”

You can probably guess what the theme entailed. The meaning behind the theme of pause was to take a moment in all the chaos and really focus on Father God. With life just about always being hectic for most of us it’s rather difficult to take a few moments to sit and be with God. To me, pause was more than just taking time out of my day; pause was, and is, about putting our lives on pause and just giving it all to God. In our daily lives we should walk with Christ not just alone by having a single quiet time once a day, but by truly pausing our lives for Him. By pausing everything that we have and everything we are and just pursuing Him whole heartedly in all the chaos.
