I felt mostly prepared for the events I participated in this weekend. Josh Amy and I planned youth this Friday and had more than enough games to play. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I met Shai who likes to bike and drum, so that was pretty awesome. I'm helping Wanda with Sunday school ages 10 and 11 every other Sunday. I'm starting to feel more like I can be involved and effective in this church, which is something I was struggling with. So things are getting started and I have ideas but it will be hard to make time for the ideas I have. I want to be useful to this church and am now starting to get the opportunities, I just hope I can persevere and not blow it.
Through school, books and the bible, it seems I'm constantly being reminded about submission to God. Today at church was a message on warning us about spiritual adultery. The general process is we commit to God then later decide to do our own thing then fall in a hole and want to come back to God. And God's like if you truly want to come back you'll have to go through some suffering first. In this way we become humbled and realize who am I to try live my own life thinking that its better, it only brings me to a ruin. Ezekiel 16:37-63.
In knowing this I still fear to follow God because his ways are always uncertain, risky and not like the world teaches. I really hope I can learn how to read the bible correctly, and not be a bad bible reader like it’s teaching me all about in Eat This Book for our hermeneutics course. If I can really figure this out I know it will be a huge benefit.
