John 10:3

"The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out."

My word for the day is "Listen to the one who healed me." I've got some questions I want to ask Jared (my leader at church for those who don't go) and I'm going to be asking him and Dave since I really believe God worked a lot of healing through him.

I feel the need to do something outside this house today. All day yesterday I was here dealing with the roofers constantly pounding away. Hopefully, I'll be able to escape that at some point.

Stir crazy is the current feeling as I don't have anyone tangible to talk to at the moment. That said, only Christian music has been helping. I feel I'm at least doing something by worshiping.

Making a right judgement

Oh, how I want to delve into apologetics.

1 Cor 15:55-57

" "Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Sunday was a giant "AARON. THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR NEXT PHASE AND YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED THE PREP. THIS WEEK. PAY ATTENTION." from God.

I enjoy those.

My bus plan for Thursday is settled, I don't know how long it'll take to walk, but we'll go a bit early to find that out. Yes.

I have been a very distracted person. I'm doing my best to not be.

John 1:12

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God"

Like I said, the best way I could describe Dave is that I would be proud to have him as my father. And on earth, he is the closest person I have ever had to a godly father.

I know he loves me and that he is proud of me.

Jared's cell teaching tonight was on what a good father is and should be and what a person without one is like. What God as a Father truly is.

I've come to the point where I know what a good father is and what I can expect from one. What I can expect from my true Father, God. I know that my spiritual father is loves me, is proud of me, and has taught me what to do to change.

It's my turn to truly rely on God as my Father and use what I've learned from Dave.

1 Peter 5:6

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand , that he may lift you up in due time."

God's timing is perfect. If I continue working for Him with the right heart, He will definitely take care of me. He has placed me under Jared and I will do my best to serve him as I would the Lord, Himself.

1 Peter 2:6

"See, I lay a stone in Zion a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

I've been really feeling horrible that I wasn't able to serve Dave in the capacity that was needed and just, and I know it's not true, looked down upon is how things have been going down in my head. The verse here completely negates this. God will put me where I need to be and I will never have to worry about being looked down upon as long as I continue to trust in Him who brought me here in the first place.
