I think the best part of eating ice cream is the first 2, maybe 3 bites. Its during these bites that you can really taste the flavor of the ice cream because your tongue hasn’t had time to freeze yet. Its true. Next time you eat ice cream, see if the first couple of bites don’t taste better than the last couple of bites….
Well, today I got through with 90% of packing my stuff. I think I am in good shape for the move on Friday. Moving is so treacherous and time consuming. I can’t even count how many times I have done it since college, and the worst part is that I know I will move again….this apartment isn’t the last place I will live, and realistically, I may only be there a year or two…but I do think it is where God wants me for now.
There are some things I need for my apartment that I want to bring out for the wordpress community. Hopefully you can help me out by going to the Father and interceding.
-
My apartment needs to be a place where all feel welcome. Even strangers.
-
My apartment needs to be a place of peace and refuge where the presence of the Holy Spirit is so strong, it is evident upon first walking in.
-
My apartment needs to be a place of community. My hope is that it can not only be a place where prayer groups assemble, but where lives draw closer to each other in friendship and fellowship.
As I write this, I realize there are some things I need as well.
-
I need to be the light in a dark place.
-
I need to be available for others and be sensitive to their needs.
-
I need to be ready at a moments notice to counsel or pray with those God has placed as my neighbors.
-
I need to be patient when situations call for such.
-
I need to remain broken and realize that this is a new mission field for me.
-
I need to be the best example of Jesus Christ as I possibly can so that others can fall in love with Him.
None of this can happen on my own or with my own strength. Please pray for me. Thanks and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
