Man, I should really write as things happen! Once a few days go by, there are so many things that have happened that I tend to forget the sequence. God is always at work around us...
I'm so grateful to God that He allowed me to be home for the summer to go through the Experiencing God study. What I learned from His Word during those days have carried over here with me. It took a whole semester before i realized it but that's coolin. So what has been going on, I can't begin to tell. Over the winter break that just ended two short weeks ago i built a few more great relationships that God blessed me to have encountered. This semester my classes stand as
1. Christian Missions
2. Christianity & Western Culture II
3. Persuasion and Debate
4. Hermeneutics/ Bible Study Methods
Less classes, less credit hours, greater workload
I'm working 24hrs a week now opposed to the 30+ from last semester; Praise God
I really want to work on the discipline of school work this semester and want to honor those who have invested in my life to send me here that I might grow closer to/Love the Lord and others as the Word of God has commanded. To be equipped for the work of ministry as God leads me in life.
I just got done doing some reading for class tomorrow morning, I'm tired. I still need to print and read 18 pages before i go to sleep. so let me go. I'm trying to average at least 7 hrs this semester...last semester it was like 4.5 and i had migraines for like 8 or 9 weeks darnit...OK love yall....i will try to write more frequently... comment or something,let me know if you're even reading this. . . not that it will make a difference to my writing it
keep the love alive! Love like Jesus Christ

Because it's been long enough w/out a post.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all that jazz....
Right now, i'm sitting here at work, listening to pandora with my Earth, Wind and Fire station playing...singing along to 'me and mrs. jones' by Billy Paul and all these other old jams that most people are forgetting about. I just thought to myself, "man its been a while since i've posted a blog...(pause)...maybe people are wondering what's going on with me?"
but it probably doesn't matter that much, whether i post or not. so lets catch up a little bit than.
I stayed here in the C (chicago) for my winter break to work and make some money to pay for my school bill. Thank the Lord for the opportunity to work..amen
I've been working a schedule of for days on 8-12-12-12hr shifts and then 3 day off.
Yes, i worked Christmas and New Years, it was just fine, no i'm not sad that I did not go home, this is part of the maturing process of becoming a man I believe. Living without all the luxuries and privileges of even doing something like "going home for holidays or breaks" because I truly believe that it should not be such a big deal... Love your family, miss them and your friends and your home but continue on in the Lord, glorifying Him and doing what you must no matter the circumstance... so don't feel bad for me, feel bad for anyone who's back home missing me and wishing I was still there.
Now last semester was busy and difficult. Between working in between everything and not managing time best outside of work and classes with groups and friends and more. I definitely did not do as well as i should or could have...this I must learn from. I am looking forward to this semester though. My school, work and church activity is all better planned and put together and I an openly waiting and anticipating and looking at what God is doing. I am so very blessed to be included and able to join Him, this is such a privilege.
So yea, that's where I am right now... pray for me and my school. My new Chicago church home-
Reborn Community Church, in Garfield
if you wanna know, Garfield Park area is one of the worst in Chicago(literally, probably the one of the top 3) and in much need of the Gospel and the hand, power, grace, mercy, provision and blessing of God...so pray for us as we do ministry being a small church in a big city following the Lord as he leads...ok that's all...i'll be back soon. Love yall
shout out to my Mountain View Community Church family...I will use all the Lord has bless with with while with you and let him use me here. Thank you, I thank God for you all, I love you.
