Camp Security....
Lol...the title is an inside joke around my pastor and us. Anyways... Boy, there are a LOT of things to say. First... Jesus is the best! Had to get that out there! He is all-sufficient. Secondly, Bible Schooling is going well. I'm learning so much. Our men's accountability group is growing really strong. It's amazing to see how much they've progressed in their lives. It's so funny. One of the things that's brought up is relationship with wives, and then they look at me and go "except you." Today, I was actually complimented. A fellow, Tim by name, was amazed that I can make it this far and still be single. "I couldn't do it. Paul commented on passion and how those with passion should marry so they don't shame themselves." I think is what he said. The truth of the matter is: I just really don't need companionship like that. If I'm single, I'm available for the Lord without anything holding me back. I mean, if the Lord wishes for me to marry, I will, but, it's not really something I need. Anyways.
I'm going to be jumping into a new ministry here soon. That being....COFFEE! Yes, that's right...coffee. The pastor wants me to consider (my answer is YES!) training to be the manager of a local coffee shop. We closed down for a while, but he wants us to open up and to appeal to a younger group. Highschoolers and college kids. How perfect...I'm just the right age to try for both. Plus, the singleness comes into effect yet again! I'll have all the time in the world to devote to ministry and God (God first, of course). I've worked at my current job here for about 4-5 months now. That isn't where God wants me. He's calling me so sharply it feels like a physical tug.
But, if anybody who reads this prays (and if not, shame on you), I'd like to ask for you to lift up my cousin's and my aunt in prayer. My uncle passed away earlier this week and his funeral is tomorrow (sunday). Times are going to be hard on them. Pray also for my friends (and for a certain one to be less pale...YOU KNOW YOUR NAME!...just kidding with you), some of which are going through some rough times with work, or family, or their relationship with the Lord is rocky (and yes, I can tell these kind of things because these things God tells me to "Hey, give that person some encouragement...to open their Bible and remember that I love them". Anyways...I'm spent (fast food sucks). God bless you all!
God's beloved servant.
