Each and every day God continues to pour into me and my excitement continues to grow. As God continues to shape me I find myself getting involved in areas that I would have never imagined. More importantly I am finding incredible levels of enjoyment and happiness in many of these areas. In addition to Sunday night's Frontline service I joined Todd on Monday night at Frontline Arlington. I was very excited to see God providing for Arlington just as he has for Mclean. I had an incredible evening greeting everyone and selling CD's for the Christian band who led the worship service. Todd took center stage as usual and spread Gods word throughout the church.
Bible study went extremely well last night. Although we were missing two from our group the six of us who attended really seemed to open up and connect with each other. I am excited that our group has taken off so quickly and I really believe that we are going to help each other to grow spiritually. Just as I suspected last week, the whole team had incredible insight to share in reference to the first chapter in our book. Being around other believers and allowing God to use me for his glory has opened my eyes to a whole new life that before was completely hidden from me.
I am finding myself struggling on the days that I return to work and know that I will have to find a way to balance my new life. At work I am surrounded by so many people who are completely lost and openly share their mistaken thoughts and opinions about life. In many ways these people are a lot like the person I used to be. Although my heart aches for them, I also know that it is not healthy for me to be submersed in this kind of environment. I will continue to pray for God to lead me towards a path that will bring glory to His name.
Wendie (my sister) spent the weekend in Boone, NC attending a Beth Moore conference and had nothing but incredible things to share. Mom and Dad are spending the next couple of days at the beach and I am really praying that they both have wonderful time. I am eager to dive into the next chapter of The Measure of a Man and I continue to work on my scripture memorization daily. I just finished reading Matthew 24 in my daily bible reading and I have to say that the scripture has grabbed me by the horns. I had to cancel the fall mission trip interview this Sunday due to my work schedule; however I have already rescheduled for next week. God has graciously taken control of my life and I anxiously await the next step.
In Jesus Name,
Amen

Do you not like talking about your faith with others? If my conversation made you feel uncomfortable, I am truly sorry. I consider you a friend and wouldn't do that to anyone.
I was just curious about what your faith. I have always been a very curious person and sometimes it puts others under a spotlight when I ask questions and that is far from my intentions. I have always been fascinated with religion growing up. My father was a Catholic (not practicing…not even close) and my Stepmother being a practicing Muslim. My father raised me from when I was 5 when my parents were divorced and he took me to churches in the area but I never went to lesson. I have always been curious about all religions including Buddhism and Hinduism.
Like you, I am searching for that path and I know I haven’t found it. I know that God has a path for me and when I am ready I think he will let me know. Just like that Easter day when you went to church…maybe it will happen to me one of these days. So far I spend most of the time getting my children to behave rather then lessoning. Right now I am only hearing what is going on and not seeing the true meaning of it all. I don’t know if I am in the right church. It is the one that my wife was born in and we continue to go. I do like the church…the people are great…and the minister is a great guy but I don’t know about the message. Maybe I’m just not ready to lesson. I do notice that most of the people there are happy and full of joy…and I feel like I am in the dark the entire time.
I want to let you know that my questions were more pointed toward learning then anything else. I would never try to sway what you believe in nor would I ever try to test your belief. You shown to yourself and others around you how strong your faith is. Everything from your will to workout to how happy you are everyday shows the power in your faith. Being an example and a leader doesn’t always have to do with being vocal or powerful; sometimes it is the guy that does speak up or seen by everyone. Your stronger then you think…
