I'm sitting at the desk, the beloved Pembroke desk that I will call my job for 10 hrs. a week all semester long. I got about an hour left. I feel like I've been fighting this sinus infection for a month. God has really opened doors and things have fallen into place for the musical act currently known as Jules Verne (www.purevolume.com/julesverne) It looks like we are going to have a steady practice space, each one of us is excited to see what God has for us, and there is even rumor of a possible show on the 14th of September. I just pray God uses us to reach others for Him and we play for an audience o one. Refuge is tonight, I will be heading there right after my shift ends. God has been moving rockin' my world in the past couple of weeks. Last weekend I was broken and I prayed that He would continue to do so until I was completely broken, taking all the strength and desire I have to hold onto things of this world with my own strength, and boast in my weakness that I might rely completely on His strength. My heart has been broken for some people around me, and I am daily pursuing dropping my pride that I might stand and be bold for Christ.
"by God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is form God, tat we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:
'For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?'
But we have the mind of Christ."
1 Corinthians 2:10-16
