This is Thursday's Post

"For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

- 1 Thes 5:9-11


Ok. Pretend the day is still Thursday. Just really, really late.

By now everyone would have noticed my absence here for the past few weeks.

Allow me to share.

I just got back from a long church meeting and an extremely long dinner with an amazingly good conversation w/ a bro from church.

However, it's now 2 am.

I have no idea where all my time has gone in the past 2 weeks. Possibly loitering, possibly doing school projects / ccf / church / resumes / cover letters / more church planning / more ccf planning / and now just plain escaping.

But you know what I miss the most? Being with God. Listening to God. Communing with God.

And it's not that I don't have time. It's just that I don't have time ALONE with GOD. I'm constantly surrounding by ppl talking to me about CCF and church and what's to come in the next year and on and on and on.

Which is alright in moderation. But lately with all that's on my plate... it's heavy man. It's heavy.

I feel stretched.

To a point where I can't give 100% to CCF like I used to in first semester. Everything else, especially my church, is draining the life outta me. I'm gettin burnt out. And it's not fair for you guys.

Though, on a brighter note, my dinner was good.

Let me explain, via haiku.

Hot pot, so divine
Captivate me once again
Yes, infinite beef

................................

So while this may not have been the devo you guys were looking forward to, I'm just asking you guys for a little prayer support.

“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

- 2 Peter 1:5-8

So help a brother out. Pray that I will not be ineffective and unproductive in this state. And that I can get back on the horse and finish off strong like I wanted to.

Peace outside homies.

Keep it real.
