I'm trying to think of things to say. 'Wow' comes to mind. So much is happening right now. I've just started helping with small groups at my church. I'm signed on to go on a mission trip in another week. I sub nearly everyday I'm not in college during the week now. And there are a couple of other things that have made my life particularly interesting now.
So have you ever wanted and seemed to need something so badly, but the closer you were to it, the more you feared it? What a paradox! Sometimes I want to turn and run, but I know that won't do me or anyone else any good. I have to make it a habit of facing things. But it's happening, and it's very interesting. Please pray for me if you happen to think about it. I'm enjoying life; it's really very exciting. But it's also kind of difficult at times, as well. So many thoughts in my head. But if we had all the answers at once, we could never learn faith, and I imagine life could be rather boring that way. I've seen God answer so many prayers lately in such big ways. He's truly amazing. I wish I could say more, but for now all I can say is it will be interesting to see where I and some of my friends might be by the end of the summer.
In case you didn't already see the links on the homepage, I added some recently written poems to the web-site. I'm particularly fond of The Passion Of The Christ Follower; out of all my own work, it's deffinitely made my favorites list.
God bless! Much love to my friends, my family. Thank you so much for all the ways you've been there for me, often in ways you don't even realize.
Dying to live; living to die, the burden You bore has now become mine.
