Not that many people read this, but if you do, I apologize for such a long delay between posts.
Some updates for all of you…
1) I was let go from my job.
2) I am looking for a new one.
3) School owns
4) Also… check this out
Topic One:
I love making students into disciples through encouragement, support and community. I think it’s a rush being on a stage and letting the Holy Spirit speak through me. It is a fascinating phenomenon, however, when the thing you love to do most is not appreciated anymore. For a long time I found myself trying to be appreciated by the powers that be rather than basking in the sweet love of Christ. My heart was set on performance. The past three weeks have been the best three weeks of ministry I have had in quite some time probably because I no longer have a group that desires so much from a part time youth worker. I now have the freedom to work with students that desire to be leaders within a youth group. We have a solid group of 30 students that show their faces weekly. It could be the fact that they get free food, or it could be that they really desire to know who Jesus is.
Topic two:
I need a new job, bad. Their are some stipulations though. I have to love it. It doesn’t have to pay well. I have to have the opportunity to partner with the Holy Spirit to change lives for Christ. What I am saying is that I don’t want a job. I want, nay, need an opportunity that can last a lifetime; an opportunity that takes me to extraordinary heights only by experiencing unheard of lows; and opportunity that gives me the chance to seek, find and then seek something more. I think I’ve found it. I’ll let you know.
Topic Three:
I have been spending all day (that is, the time outside of writing this) studying Matthew 4:18-22 for the class I am in at Vanguard. A year ago I was worried about finishing math homework that i didn’t understand. I am now studying a God that nobody understands, and loving everything about it. I spent an hour on a Greek word study and never had so much fun through so much frustration. I am spending my time comparing books of God’s Word while He shares how much He loves me whilst I do so. In the words of a dear former student, “Thank you Jesus!”
My God, how great you are. Thank you for loving me the way you do. Give me the courage to let go of what I consider gain in this life and take hold of what you consider gain in eternity.
