Hey everyone.... so I know that I haven't been on here in a really long time and for that I am sorry! But God has been good and I have been busy! :) So I thought I'd take a moment to update on what is happening here since it's been around 2 or 3 months since I last posted!
The first thing I think is big is that Jus is now working at a Christian Camp as their Tech Guy. I'm sure a lot of you already know that but I miss him! : ) So I have to say how he is!
The second recent thing is that I was privileged to attend the Student Prayer Advance. It was a wonderful time of fellowship, preaching, and growing in grace! This is a big annual event and I am SO glad God allowed me to go! While He taught me a lot, I think one of the main things He told me was to just slow down and enjoy the little things in life that He is giving me. So often I rush from one thing to the other and don't take time to enjoy the things that He has given me on a daily basis. Another was that I cannot, whatsoever, live the Christian life without Christ. I am a doer so I often like to live the Christian life without total reliance on Christ. This might work well while in a solid Christian home and with good surroundings, but this philosophy will fail when I hit a secular college Campus. Reliance on, and the shinning through of Christ is the only thing that is going to point people to Him, which is the ultimate goal of the human life. But this all must start here and now, not tomorrow, not next month, not in college, right here, right now. Will you pray with me that I can depend on Him more? "For He must increase, while I must decrease". ( Paraphrased. :)
I've mentioned college a couple times and you may be wondering? Are you really that old??? :) Yes... I am starting college. The official start date is August 22nd. It's even hard for me to believe! :) The Lord has allowed me to serve Him in a.... well, special way. I'll have to post more about this in a later post. I think it might take up a whole one. :)
Well... Gotta run. Waiting on a ride at work and I imagine it is here by now. :)
God bless guys!

So cool! Where are you going to college? Are you staying in state?
ReplyDeleteI'll be going to a local "Christian" college. For my undergrad I'll be in state. For my D.C. I'll be down at a school in the south. ;) I'm starting with College of Your Choice? It's a part of CP!. I can only clep 20 semester credits for my Grad school... :( Bummer! :)
ReplyDeleteHm.. I realized that my last comment wasn't to clear... I'm not starting at a traditional school until next fall, Lord willing. ( If I get accepted. :) I'm doing the College of Your Choice for this year.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Wish it was in AZ though:-)
