Another week at BCOM -- another week causing me to be closer to the Lord, farther from myself, more disinterested with the cares of this world, and longing more for the day when I can see His face. In all honesty, that's how my week has been. Some days I so just long for nothing more than to leave this place and be at His side. It's not that my life here is bad--but I know how superior life in His eternal presence will be, and I long for that. I just can't wait to see Jesus smile...
And yet I am called to live here for now, and called by no one less than God Himself, so I must live that out! How difficult the Christian life is! Yet how full of hope. I know only a small glimpse of what life will look like after I'm done with life here, but oh! how beautiful that glimpse is!
Things have been pretty typical this week-- class, homework, putting to death the flesh, putting to death the flesh the next day, or hour, or moment... speaking the words the Spirit gives me (because Lord knows it's not I who speak anything wise!), growing in God, and crying out for mercy when I once again make an idol out of the things in my life instead of worshiping the Lord.
I have had the pleasure of forming a new friendship this week; the Lord has once again blessed me with a kindred spirit. I love when He does that. :) Heather is a sweetheart who loves the Lord and enjoys life -- my favorite kind of person!
Keep praying for me, because I covet your prayers. I agree with Paul in saying I am the very least of all the sinners... and yet His grace is abundant and His love for me unending.
Titus 2:11-13 "For the grace of God has appeared, with salvation for all people, instructing us to deny godlessness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly way in the present age, while we wait for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ." Amen and amen.
Rejoicing always, and longing for His return,
Jules
