Hey all!
It's been a while since I've posted... sorry about that. I'm supposed to be keeping this blog regularly but things are just moving along so quickly! I'm going to try and start doing more frequent, shorter updates.
I have just been blown away by how much I am learning every day here.
God is definitely breaking me in order to build me up stronger and it hasn't been easy in any sense, but I'm grateful for it. Being all analytical and such, I've found that there are two overall themes to what I have been learning during these first three weeks. God has been teaching me so much about love and the Holy Spirit.
He's been teaching me about love in that I have never really focused much on how much He loves me. I was always focused more on peace haha, but love is so important. The whole story of the bible is underlined by God's love, and I never quite grasped that before.
I have been learning a lot about the Holy Spirit in that I never quite understood His power and the function of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It is our council and guide in life... a gift! In Galations Paul says that we are given the Holy Spirit as a seal. Once we are in God's kingdom, we are His children and heirs to His kingdom, and we can't lose that! I never understood this as well as I do now what it means to "walk in the Spirit."
That's all I can write for now, because people are coming over to our apartment to watch the Emperor's New Groove :)
But I will be writing more tomorrow, since it is my day off! I really want to talk more about both of those two themes over these past two weeks, and tell about the evangelism we have been doing in the city.
Peace (and love!),
Jordan
