Well.. as I enter into week 4 of January (which I can’t believe how fast this month went by), I was thinking of how I am doing with the goals I have set myself. I guess its real easy to lose track, but I feel like I’m pretty focused and doing well.
With the exception of this past Sunday, I have done very well with creating margin in my life. I stepped down from a couple ministries to accomplish this. I have been reading a lot lately and have spent almost everyday in the Word. I have worked pretty hard with being on time for everything. I have also been disciplined in my finances. I must say that I feel like a hermit. I’m devoting most of this alone time to prayer with God and to my devotions. This has made a huge impact in my life as I feel pretty on-track with my walk.
So what has God with me this past month…..? Here we go:
I just completed my first month on the mission board. Its been an amazing opportunity for me to grow in my faith. There are two mission trips this month I feel God calling me to. So I am praying about that. My divorce group is growing and I have seen God heal some hurt hearts in just this month alone. He is so amazing! My men’s group is always a blessing. I’m doing a lot with both Camber and the single young adult ministry. I start a missions-related religion class next Monday. I continue to work with college-campus ministries. The Mine Bible study is always amazing. I have been spending time with an amazing friend who I have been blessed with who just encourages my faith day in and day out. The kids are doing great in school. I run 2 miles a day and have lost 5 lbs. I’m cooking great food again. Listened to over 25 sermons on my IPod. Getting a raise at work. Had a fun time teaching my 4th grade Sunday school class this week. I’m sleeping better. And Pastor Ron just presented a possible amazing opportunity for me at Cornerstone that I’m not going to say but will keep in prayer about.
This week I will be in L.A. for the Passion conference. That event is such an amazing event. Besides the great messages and worship music, they just do a great job in raising awareness about global events and missions. The ministry they do for young adults just is encouraging and gives me hope for the future. I am looking forward to being spiritually filled this weekend and it will cap off a great God-filled month.
God Bless
