Nothing Short of Breathtaking

Let me first begin by stating how much I love these times where I actually get to sit down and write. They seem these days few and far between. I am most certainly in a season where God has every moment occupied. You know though I love this time because as I write Jesus Himself continues to do incredible things in His sons and daughters around me and allows me to take part in those things which He is doing...which is so cool!

For those who I haven't talked to in a while I will catch you up with what God has done for the past three weeks or so...

This weekend, I got to visit one of the guys in my bible study. The point of the trip was to see Yosemite but God gave us who went on the roadtrip something more wonderful. We(Elise, Elise and I) were able to sit and chat with this guy in my study and see how God had given him a completely new heart . Basically God changed the course of his life over this summer...that is my God! What God has done is His heart is nothing short of breathtaking.

I got to visit another guy in my bible study as well the weekend before this one and got to be truly honest with him about those areas of my life I let very few people in...it was incredible to see how God blesses truth and how satan bitterly opposes that. There are only a few moments where satan has come flat out and attacked one of my fellow brothers or myself. I know that there is something right about letting Truth be the path we blaze because I am experiencing opposition in ways I have never had before.

The previous weekend to that one my parents came out for my birthday and it was such a blessing to spend time in fellowship with them just simply enjoying their company. I got twenty presents from Elise that weekend...she is pretty wonderful.

The rest of this week is going to be a time where God is going to start preparing my heart for what He is doing to do this upcoming year on the Cal Poly campus and how He is shaping such grand things.I am pretty stoked. I may get to sit down with another guy from my study who spent time in Japan ministering to the Saints. I am pretty excited!

Anyways that is about it...I am still sore from my eight mile hike in Yosemite so I am probably going to take a nap and perhaps go have lunch with one of my roomates. Hope all you all are doing great and God is blessing you increidbly as You continue to seek Him out in Holines and truth.
