Thursday 2/19

Well its been a little bit since I have been on here.
Life is going by at an incredible pace right now. I get involved in one thing and I add another and another and it seems like I can lose focus of the more important commitments like school. lol. I found a church that I love down here. God is doing something special, I cn feel it every time I step inside the church. I have been able to help the pastor with media stuff because they are a little behind of what he would like so I said I could give it a shot. I love the new oppurtunities that have openned up for me.
This semester has been a better semester by far except I just need to focus more with school related work. Last night I took my T.V. out of my room so that I wouldn't be distracted so much. I have definitely had a better relationship with God this semester. I find myself wanting a deeper relationship still though which is good. I hve been reding the minor prophets and they seem to be all the same but after those are knocked out its on to the Torah(first five book of the OT) Prayer with God is becoming a thing I cannot live without everyday and if I miss it or dont do it I definitely tell.
I am so excited for this summer I know God is going to do awesome things as I go back up to Boston. My church family up there is amazing and loving and very genuine. I am going to be working with a new church plant in Beverly, MA. Hopefully doing quite a bit of youth and family outreach. I have been praying that this is where God takes me back to after I am done with school. I feel so at peace up there and at home. But I dont want to put God in a box if he has something better for than by all means do it GOD! Please.
I find myself finally content with not having a girlfriend or trying to find a girlfriend. Not saying that having one would be bad. IT WOULD BE AMAZING! But I am totally cool right now to just relax and have good friends and enjoy my weekends full of sports. playing and watching mind you. I have been also doing pretty good eating healthy and staying active. That has been part of my goals for the semester.
To say that I am loving life right now would be an understatement. I am indescribably in love with what God is doing with me and how he is changing me into a better man of God every day.

The next step...

Have you ever came to the point where you are trying to way the options of what to do next? Either thing will not go against the goal your striving for. But at the same time your not sure which is the better choice. Does God want you to go down one path and not the other? Or does he really not care which path we choose when in the end we will achieve the same goal? One might give you a little more experience or knowledge but the other path is a little more stress free and cheaper. lol. What would we choose to lose just to stay comfortable? and outside off your zone? Even as I write this I am realizing that I need to choose the opportunity I have to have an experience of a life time. Sometimes we are scared of letting God grow us in our faith in him I think. It's almost like, are we really ready to trust God that much. To let him bring us to another level in our walk with him.
If we were to let God take us to where he wanted to take us to I think our minds would blow. He would stretch our faith and comfort zone so much we probably wouldn't even be able to explain it. Well those are my thoughts today.

Grace, Mercy, and Peace
