Dear Brothers,
Sorry, that sounded like something the Apostle Paul would start his letters off with... Well I apologize to anyone who cares that I haven't updated this in over a month, but I am now transitioned into my new home so I'm sure this will happen more often! I'am now living in the great state of North Dakota...and when I say great I mean amazing! Nothing on Ohio...but OH has nothing on the wide open farmlands and windmills here and beautiful sunsets and sunrises and just amazing ability to go outside and sit and only hear nature...God's creation nothing else....
So I have started what will be my job now for the next year and nothing has been too stressful but I do love what I'm doing I'm living in a house thats fit for a family and only two guys are living in it...basically I have my own wing of the house to myself....I only need one room ;) Living with Chuck has been a blessing already he is such an encouragement and leader for me to follow and as Proverbs 27:17 says Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. I pray I am doing the same for him!
Something that I have become so excited about is that I get to read for my job! Chuck and I will go through I think its nine books over the year and discuss them together....yeah thats my job! I'm very excited about that! Something I wanna throw out there for those who read this and for myself to come back to not only in my journal I keep but this too...I'am defiantly struggling with the sin of selfishness and I want this to be rid from my life...whether this is in my relationship with my girlfriend, or co-workers, or Chuck. I'm tired of having a mind-set (that I might be able to hide) of things revolve around me. I find myself wanting not to do certain things because it cuts in me-time...and thats disgusting in my book. I'am losing this state if servant-mindedness that so describes Christ. I have a book that Chuck and I are going to read called The QBQ Principle...it's bittersweet to me because I can't wait to be refreshed of who I need to be as a servant to others, but also scarred to for it to help reveal the areas in me that are holding this barricade of selfishness. So please if you read this and you know who Christ is please ask Him to help guide and direct me away from this self-centered way of thinking!
I called this post Healer for two reasons I'am hooked on a Hillsong song called Healer. Secondly, it was sung several times by a Cedarville University chorus which I miss very much! Thirdly, I'am just overwhelmed by the sin in my life and only Christ has and can heal me from it and I'am sick and tired of sin seeping in and getting strongholds in my life and I want to prevent that...not only stop it, but prevent it...so please pray for me in that way!
I trust Christ is blessing you all in many ways whether we see them or not, never stop following the truth we no so well to be living in us!
