A new day

Hey guys and girls,

how are your lives? think about that question before you continue reading this post. What is God doing in your lives? What have you been surrendering to God lately? I think that the most important thing that we can do sometimes is just to step back and look closely at the direction that our lives are going in... look and see if this lifestyle continues the way I have been living will I be satisfied with my life in 20 years? Have I been following God's will as close as I can? Do I even know what God's will is?

I heard something neat about the will of God and it has stuck with me ever since. The best way to find God's will for your life is to read God's will for your life. God's will for your life is found all over the bible. Just as he who called you is holy so be holy in all you do. (1 Peter 1:15). Or things like that. I have found in my experience nothing opens up my mind more to hear the voice of the Lord then to be spending time in his word. And I am preaching to myself right now because in the last couple of days I haven't made much time for God or his word. But this is so important!

The other neatest thing about surrendering and living in surrender to God's will is that life is so easy. Sure the storms will come, but you don't have to worry about anything because you know that God is carrying you through the storm and his will is the best.

Anyways that wasn't what I had intended to write about when I sat down to write a new blog entry after a long silence. I have been back from Greece for about 2 days now. It was a really good experience, God has given me a lot more confidence in myself and in his provision. Next year I am going down to North Carolina to FIRE school of ministry. And the way things are looking I may not be able to get a visa in time and even my education plan stuff in order. But I have met so many people who have testified of God's amazing providence and moving that if this truly is God's will for me and I do the best I can I am sure it will all work out somehow.

I want to start posting pictures of my trip on here soon but I am going up to Dallas Valley to be a counsellor for four weeks tommorow. Haha so all of these cool ideas and things I want to do probably won't get done. Today i think I will go to Hillsdale with my brother for the first time in a year and a half. Just to see everybody again and see how it's doing. It's true that I was hurt by what happened but God has healed those wounds and I have no more resentment or bitterness. I love how God can change my heart and set me free from everything that bound me. He proclaims freedom to the captives everyday, if only we would heed his invitation more often. Anyways, I better be off now. Hopefully I will start posting a bit more now. I love you all. God bless.
