Month: July 2003

First, I read Proverbs 31, which I’ve read many times before, but today I got something different out of it. Instead of just applying it to a Godly wife, it applies to anyone who wants to be Godly. A Godly person, shall be a hard worker, fear God, respect their spouse, be prepared, encourage others, care for others, concern for the poor, and have wisdom in handling money. All of these attributes lead to a life of enjoyment, success, honor and good work.

But, if you read Ecclesiastes it appears that Solomon says all of this wisdom is meaningless, but READ the whole thing, it is amazing! Don’t live just to live for wisdom and wealth, live to fear and worship God almighty. I read the entire thing today, and I am soo happy I did.

Just a quick update? I?ll have more later today. But I got my web cam to work at my desk at work now, so that?s kind of exciting. I?ve been talking to one of my old roommates, she (yes, I know, but things have changed, I won?t live w/ girls again) has been growing in the Lord so much, she?s not going to church that I know of? but she is really interested in going to mine when her grandparents are better. So I love how God is moving people. So far at work, things are okay, I don?t have much to do except coordinate our phone network people so they can get things working better. So, I hope everyone is good? Oh by the way, Alexis doesn?t have to work today, that?s a good thing! Yay. Have a great day.

Today I had a good day at work, got all the little things done, and now I’m moving onto the larger projects, which is a good deal. The weather was a little bit like my mood today, sometimes it was the intense rain blowing in from the side, and other times the beautiful sun and big white puffy clouds causing rays of light to beam through the sky. Today during my short quiet time, I was reading from 2nd Thessalonians 3:2-5, and Christ gives us the endurance to live, to live through hard times, times of bad choices, and times of separation. If we practice what Jesus showed and told us we can have the deep understanding of God’s love and endurance, we just have to focus on God, and God alone. I am learning how to interact with Alexis, what her boundaries are how to keep God in the center but also serve her needs, and to continue to keep that balance in both of our lives. Tonight was a blast, introducing Alexis to all my CRU friends, and really feeling comfortable when I thought I would be feeling awkward. We haven’t had any “alone time” yet, not even before we were dating, I’m not sure if this is a good thing or not, but I know it will come in God’s timing, right now it’s a lot of feeling like we are under the microscope from our friends, of which I am not ashamed or upset about. Thank you Lord.

Dear Jesus,

I ask for you to continue to open my heart to your will, I praise you for who you are in my life, and I thank you for providing enough support for Poland so I can now purchase my plane tickets. Thank you lord, thank you! God I ask you for guidance, wisdom and simply to stay in love with you and not anything below you. I ask for you to hit me on the head, and to keep me in the narrow path which leads to you. Lord God, I ask for all of this in Jesus Christ’s name.

So be it.
