Work
Continues to go well. I continue having discussions on faith with the jdub girl, she referred to herself as a jdub so I feel okay calling her that. Still waiting to see where we differ greatly in views, though we have only talked for about 15min. I have been meaning to get coffee with her.
- Please pray for our interactions
While getting t in the dub at work I was randomly asked to write a story by one of my co-workers for her. I plan on writing a modified judge story for her. ( A judge story is basically any story where the law must be upheld and a penalty paid where someone who is innocent steps in for the person who is guilty. Usually the creator of the law is the one who sacrifices themselves. )
- Please pray that the Spirit would be leading as a write it.
Asked one of my co-workers to read the bible, he said maybe if he has time. Previously while I was on a break and reading my bible he asked to look at it and we briefly chatted it up about some of his favorite Psalms. I worked with him two years ago and he is a man I deeply love and enjoy. We shall see what the Lord does here.
- Please pray for him to have a desire to study the bible with me and make the time for it.
Been watching the world cup with one of my other co-workers. It has led to some sweet conversations. He seems pretty comfortable around me and we are able to discuss real life things and not just surface things throughout the games.
- Please pray for God to be working on his heart and for the Spirit to be leading my tongue.
As I look back and read this I am amazed what God is doing in such a short time. Once again none of this is me and I have just shown up on the scene, not been weird, shared my life, prayed, and watched God work.
- Please pray for God to be opening the hearts and minds of all those whom I am working with.
Team
Starting to develop a deeper love for all of them, but I still want more. We are starting to get to the point where deeper issues are coming out. Some core issues which have reared their head.
- Please be praying that the men on my team would be pursuing the Lord whole heartedly the remainder of the summer and that He would be doing great work on them in these areas.
I still desire, we desire, for evangelism to be the focus of our faith. My prayer is that all of these men would be become solid men of faith or reproduce other men who produce other men who follow Christ, and so on.
- Please be praying for this to happen.
Program
We are all amazed we only have 4 weeks left. The summer has zoomed by. More of a family feel continues to develop and I feel we are coming out of a brief slump.
Parents weekend just finished up. It was fun to meet some peoples parents. I also had my aunt and uncle come up whom I had not seen for 2 years, so that was a sweet.
We are going to attempt to have two people in the program give their testimony every evening to encourage the family feel all the more.
- Please pray for a continued program wide focus on God and sharing of each others burdens.
Myself
Currently doing well. Time in the word has been good. I have been taking drastic steps to fully eradicate portions of lust from my heart. In these steps and desires to pursue righteousness and present my body to Christ, sin has seized the opportunity to make my lustful passions more intense than they were before. Satan is fighting hard to maintain his stay in a portion of my heart, but I want life! Eternal life! I am a slave to Righteousness! Not sin!
- Please pray that I would rely upon the Lord in this struggle and not try to defeat it out of my own weakness.
