"rest"

Praise God! I'm going on a retreat this weekend in Milroy, PA. It will be nice to get away from all the distractions of life. Life is been quite stressful so needless to say I'm excited.

Please pray:
1. That God is glorified by the time that I spend alone with Him
2. God would transfer some of what I'm learning from my head to my heart
3. I would truly be transformed this weekend

Praise God with me for His faithfulness!

"I still believe" by Jeremy Camp

Jeremy Camp wrote this after losing his wife to cancer. This song has recently ministered to me as well through the different challenges in my life... (my parents divorce, losing my brother to suicide, career challenges)

Jeremy Camp is quoted as saying "Music is not my life. Christ is my life. The only thing that really matters is what we do for Jesus on this Earth, and as a result of what I’ve been through, I express even more the goodness of God and how faithful He is.”

Chorus
I still believe in Your faithfulness
I still believe in Your truth
I still believe in Your holy word
even when I don't see, I still believe

What does God "like" about me?

My friend from Bible study was asked an interesting question. So we know that God loves us because He sent Jesus to die for our sins. What about the question "What does God 'like' about me?" In other words, what about me pleases God the most?

My answer is that He likes that I listen and care for people who are hurting. That's all of us, because I don't know about you, but I have my issues. So God, thanks for making me into a man of God who listens to others. Help me to become a better listener and to know You more. Amen.

Day of prayer and...

I'm seeking God's wisdom in a few different areas of my life. Would you join me as I pray? Thanks!
1. priorities
2. careerwise

Please pray for my graduate school exam on Friday. It's the first exam I've had in three years. Pray that I am relaxed and that I remember what I've studied.

I'm the clay

Lord, I'm the clay, mold me. Continue to draw me closer to Yourself. Make me into the man of God that You want me to be. Conform me into Your image. You are my rock and my salvation.

Ps. 19 - May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
