Where I live

I have come to a point in life where for once I am content with all of the circumstances and situations that I find myself in. I will start working soon, which is a blessing from God, I most likely have to reapply to med school in a couple of months, and I only have a couple of months left in the apartment I am currently in before I have no place to live. These aspects of my life are not what I truly need to focus on because they will all be handled by a loving Father that I am so thankful for.

I do have to say that I am excited to move. I really pray that my next living scenario brings in people that will be more than just roommates and people to live with who pay the rent. I want to live with people that will challenge me, encourage me, and most definitely keep me accountable for things. My current living situation is quite the opposite. I come and go as I please with no one taking a meaningful approach to delve into anyone's life. As long as I pay my part of the rent, then it does not matter where I am at or what I am doing. I know that I am not getting myself into trouble or anything, but it would be nice to have real relationships with the people that see me the most everyday and see where I sin and fail and need to grow. I truly hope God puts great brothers in my life this next time around. This is my prayer.....

Miracles

I truly believe that God can perform miracles because I am positive that the 180 degree turn that I have made in my own life in a relatively short period of time is a great testimony of it! I have been following Christ for years now, but I now know what I can attest to this transformation in my life: from the bitter, cynical, pessimistic, angry, despairing, person into a hoping, optimistic, encouraging, God-fearing, trusting, gentle godly man. The only change that I have made in my life, which I have come to realize is the ultimate change, is fully and whole-heartedly submitting to Christ and the will that God has for me and my life. I was so foolish to think that my life is my own and God can just play a role in it. Far be it from that truth that that truly is. I have no worries or anxiety in my life anymore. In less than two months I won't have a place to live, might no have a job, and might not have even been accepted into medical school, but that does not matter to me. God is more than faithful to provide whatever He sees necessary to sustain my life. That is more than enough of a reassurance in my life. I am so grateful for how far I have come in changing and how I have such a passion to strive and pursue godliness and being above reproach.

Ah, words cannot express the strong feelings of gratitude and love that I have for my Father. He alone deserves the glory and praise for the transformations in my life. Thinking about the last year leaves me baffled as to how I could have been so blind and lost in trying to keep God in the passenger seat of my life. That has all changed now. I am excited for what God is doing in my life, as well as the people and circumstances that He keeps bringing in. The future is very uncertain, but God is the God of eternity and His faithfulness and grace know no boundaries. I really hope my life will be a testimony of Christ and the power He has to truly change the hearts of people. I pray people will see a new joy in my life and that it will give me an opportunity to express with them what is on my heart. Thank you for Your love and kindness. Thank You for never abandoning me....
