An Update

I am currently trying to update my blogs and trying to revise the design format for it. I have fallen a little bit behind, but have just a couple remaining subjects for the July Archives, and then to play catch-up with August.

It is difficult for me to sometimes write because I want what I have to say to mean something. So, if you happen to read this entry, just know I am trying to put blog entries that are important and address issues regarding the times on here. 

I am struggling in my walk a little bit, but if I was not, then there would be no growth. I have been a little distant from fellowship at church this last month. A lot has been on my mind. I have been thinking a lot about my mom's passing as it has almost been a year since she died from cancer. I know I ought not to neglect that gathering of saints. I feel like I really could use some encouragement for this dry spell I am going through in my life. 

On a positive note, I am beginning a study in Galatians by John Stott. Please look for entries that discuss the apostle Paul's discourses in Galatians.

Please pray for me that God will show me what to do as far as writing. It is His voice that should speak and not mine. Also, I am still looking for a job, and have been out of work for what seems too long. I am dating someone very special also and need God's guidance for being in a relationship. It is not easy, especially, since I have been a single man for a very long time. I need to have wisdom and discernment for handling decisions made within our relationship.

Lastly, I want to see my life the way that Jesus sees me. I am unfocused and self-critical to the point that I forget God's grace sometimes, and need to step back and look at the way things that Jesus sees them.
