What I am learning these days…

(I like to smile and its been more genuine lately:)

God is forever changing my life.  I am learning so many things…that perhaps I have never fully internalized.  The past three weeks specifically, and its started with this bible study I am doing-40 Days in the Word (Many of you know I am not a fan of Rick Warren…but I think God is using this Bible Study to Drive A Deeper, intimacy and knowledge with God) and a leadership class I am taking.  Here are some;

1) Through Reflecting on scripture, I am learning; God desires greatly to know our hearts, our needs…and without Him, Who he sent as his son, Christ, We cant do it.  I cant do it…

2) He provides.  He has proven this through my finances…My needs.  they are All provided.

3) He cares about our DESIRES!!!!! I am going to give you four real life reasons I believe this;

1) Through leadership essentials, I am given the oppritunity to learn/do sound and be a sound tech for the class (so I dont      have to pay anything)…and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!! I love learning about it, I love doing while learning leadership, I love being given that challenge to serve in that area.  I swear, my next is to be a DJ.  You just watch;)

2) Though a series of events, God is giving me the oppritunity to be a Barista at a Local, Free Trade coffee shop here in Grand Rapids!!! Booyah, I am so stoaked.  Maybe, someday I will run my own coffee shop…and I can already steam milk like a flipping pro…Not Lying!

3) God has been nudging me to get involved with the homeless population here in Grand Rapids again.  A friend who facilitates 40 days in the word (at my table), just got involved with her ministry -The Landing- and repeated “God kept nudging me and finally I had to say Yes”

–I’ve been feeling this way for a few months.  I have the time, I work closer to home now, and since my job is less emotionally/physically demanding than my last one, I really believe now is the time.  So I emailed a friend from Degage (I helped him with organization, files, ID’s at one point) To see if he wants me back.

4) friendships are so amazing lately.  I cant be thankful enough.  In so many ways.

–All of this to say, I just wanted (and challenged in ways) to share a testimony of what God is doing in me…though His Word, His promises, His People and body.  The Journey has not been easy in the least, but good.

–I hope this is encouraging to you.  The End.
