Colossians 1

21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,
22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,

Wow… a lot has happened since i journaled last! Friday night i gave my testimony, and it felt so great! Thank You for giving me that opportunity and thank You that it reached several people. Also, Sunday night, we had our Comm 101 Ceremony and we were all given a license! That’s pretty cool! Thank You for that and for what it means in my life. It seems like an answer to so many prayers, and yet i still don’t feel like i’m there. i’ve been wrestling with this since we got it… i feel like it’s mostly pride, and desire for power, or recognition, especially when i compare myself to some of the others in the room. Lord, help me replace my earthly desires, for desires to bring You glory! Lord, i want a passion for the lost! Please give me and extreme passion for the lost and the hurting. Please let me be a vessel for You in reaching and changing people. Thank You for how You have used me so far. There is no greater blessing! i pray that You’ll keep me humble as i remember my downfalls and also as i just remember how big You really are! i pray that You’ll help me to be and do the right things for Joel, and Mitch… Mitch i just feel really down and negative about, and i can’t help but want to preach at him every time. i pray that You’ll direct my words and attitude with him. You’ve helped me in the past, & i pray You’ll help me again. With Joel, i just don’t know what to do… He obviously doesn’t want me for a sponsor, and often i feel like he doesn’t even care about meeting, unless it’s to get stuff off his chest… Is that right? Is that what i’m supposed to do? If so, please help me to do it well! Lord, i love You! i’m giving this day to You and trust that You will make it right and that You’ll work through me. i pray You’ll continue to work in me in order to present me Holy and blameless and above reproach!
