Discipleship Group

I have a couple of guys that wanted to start a discipleship group together. I searched for a book and was not sure if it was going to be good or not. I know that discipleship is more than a book, but we needed some sort of structure. So I bought a book called Discipleship Essentials. I am so glad I did. It has been incredible. It is perfect for a new believer seeking to know how to go deeper with God.

Both of the guys are doing well and our first conversation today blew me away. God is so good. I pray the Lord continues to bless this time that I am having with these guys, and that they grow deep in their relationship with Christ.

Powerful Sunday

Wow, Sunday was a powerful service. God was certainly doing something new withing the hearts of people at Salem Friends Church. I cannot put my finger on what was different, but something changed.

My prayer is that this will not just be an event, but will be the start of something new. A new wine skin as it were. We talked about manure pits, and being redeemed. God help us to be a redeemed people who seek to take part in loving and serving others while bringing them to you to be redeemed themselves..

Next Sunday we talk about compassion. This is where the rubber hits the road. This is where our faith and deeds collide. May it be so. Amen!

Back in the Swing of Things

It has taken a while to get re-acclimated to Iowa. Colorado felt like a weird trip, but it feels a little now like we stepped back a few paces from where we were when we left. After being back a week, it is starting to get better.

Always busy, I am fearful for the final projects in each class as well as the capstone project. This is a lot of work. I am not sure where to begin. Lord please help me stay balanced in the midst of chaos. I pray you help me get the job done, and to get it done well. And then... pay back student loans. Yay! Not. :(

Last Day

Today was the last day of F2F. I will not be back to Quaker Ridge for a while. I took a picture to remember that wonderful place. I have so many good memories their both with people and with God. I am truly thankful for how He has worked in my life through that place.

It was sad to leave. I was anxious to see my family, but we will not be in that place again together like that. I am thankful for graduation to be able to see those wonderful people, but after that... disband. A bit sad. Thank God for heaven.
