| Thanks be to God. There is sweet, sweet closure. I sat in a Melini's tonight and had a long conversation with a friend of mine. We talked and talked, both of us seemed to avoid the real issue that needed to be cleared up. As we talked though it became clear to both of us that we were not right for each other. Eventually, she spoke up saying the very words that both of knew. We are just to different for a romantic relationship to work. We do have a lot in common and do complement each other well. Still, we are not headed in the same directions. Our lives are worlds apart and God is calling the both of us in two different areas of ministry. God has different plans for us. The conversation was a little bitter sweet, but God blessed me through it. He opened my eyes to our differences and showed me the greatest friend I have ever had. He has given me something that I can never thank him enough for; a truly magnificent friend.
Thank you Father! For the grace you give this sinner. Forgive my wondering ahead. To you be the glory in Christ. May you ever be praise before all nations. Holy are you oh God! And wise beyond human conception. Amen. | | |
| Silent remorse, for sin, for loss, for friends.
God, forgive my misguided focus and lack of faith. Bless each of them in what they do and the path you have them on. Teach them your ways and lift up their hands in praise to you. Remove me from their sight, and them from mine. Amen. | | |
| Not sure how I am feeling. I have been traveling a lot lately, and I think that it is taking it's toll on me. Don't get me wrong I have been enjoyed the trips. My friends and I have had a lot of fun. I espesially enjoyed seeing every body from home two weeks ago. Still, I feel a little tired and a little sad. I think maybe it is just that I have not taken time with just God. I have been so busy working on projects and trips and class work that I have not spent time just in silence. I miss him. I miss laying in my fathers lap and telling him about my day. I miss listening to the word because I want to, not because of some class assignment. I long for those moments of silence.
I have also been missing old friends. I miss my group from back home. I have never found a more honest and real group of people in my life. I always feel like the world make since when I am around them. Like there are no false pretenses and masks are useless. I feel like everywhere I go around here there are people with masks on who do not want you to get to close. I find myself putting up false fronts and I hate it. I hide from the world behind this mask that I have it together. I wish I knew exactly where I was going in the future. Where it is that God wants me to serve. Most of the time I think it is preaching. Sometimes though I wonder if I would not be better off as a camp director a janitor in some christian school. Something where I did not have to be seen. Where I could fade into the shadows. Part of me is scared to lead people. I don't even feel like I know where I am. How can I show them where to go.
This I know Christ died for me, so that I could be with the father.
God, forgive my doubt.

| One day when we are all sitting around the table with God and laughing about that petty thing that we called time. What joke will tell God? | | |
| This morning I got up a little early so that I could go for hike. I do not know what it is about hiking that seems to clear my head, but I love it. I went to the local state forest and walked their ten mile loop. I was really surprised to see how many people that wanted to talk to me. It was not all that many compared to a city, but a lot by back country standards. One couple in particular stands out in my mind. I think that they were dating and that I interrupted their picnic. I had run out of water and still had about five miles to go when I saw them grilling on a park grill. I asked if they had any water and the man offered to let me have the water from his cooler. I was very grateful. This normally would not have been all that impressive except that the taught me something about love. I'm not talking about romance, rather the love of Christ. He did not appear to be a Christian judging by his language and reaction to my mentioning of KCU, but he was very concern about me getting enough water. His concern for my well being was obvious and he insisted on me taking some with me. I had been struggling this past few weeks trying to figure out how I was going to show Christ in an environment like my work that is so hostile toward Christianity. I realized that this man the rude and crude was the perfect example of love. How he cared for the well fare of others was the precedent of Christ love. I realized that God has been calling me and everyone to forget about the petty thing like appearances and love on people in way that they can see Christ concern for them through you. | | |
