I'm not a big fan of titles
Hey hey everyone, so I guess this is my first time on this thing which is kind of crazy, seeing as it was probably about a year ago when Jim sent me the first of many invitations to join. Anyways, Scotty I appreciate your urging to get me on this thing because I have been wanting to post for a while but have been so short of time. Home has been crazy, after spending a few days in BC with my parents, which was cool but also difficult, I flew home and immediately had to get my wisdom teeth removed. Following my recovery, I had to start work almost immediately. Work had been interesting, the days are long and I find that I come home, eat and pretty much go to bed, which makes it difficult to communicate with you guys which sucks and I apologise for that. I came home from kaleo super pumped to get out in the world, and was excited to put what I’ve learned into practice in “the real world” ha. I guess work was somewhat of a rude awakening to just that. I have never before been around so many people with such twisted values. Right now I’m super confused as to how I am supposed to interact with these people, and am constantly wondering if my attempts to show God’s love are going unnoticed. Its super frustrating to be around people who couldn’t care less about that which I’ve devoted my life to following. However, I take comfort in knowing that if change were to come about, it wouldn’t be my doing. I’ve come to the same conclusion that I came to in India. The only thing I can do is pray. People are so lost, all I can do is pray that God would open their eyes and continue to be an example, all the while remembering that with the exception of God’s grace, I am no different.
I've also been learning to trust God with the decision I made to continue on at Briercrest. It sucks to see peoples reactions when I tell them whatsup, and know that they think im crazy for pursuing something like that. Anyways, I began to doubt my decision, just because of lack of trust and what not, ha. anyways the next sunday in church we were singing "In Christ Alone" ha and I almost broke down crying which is crazy, anyways, im learning to trust in God with my future and to toss every aspect of that his way. Its cool to feel the security of not being in control, if that makes sense.
Aside from that things have been pretty rad, its been sweet to be close to lefave and hangout often, as well, having Rob come for the weekend was solid. I should get to bed. Hope all of you are doing well.
I miss you guys all tonnes and pray for you often.
