Going Through Changes

I'm going through changes, and how true that is..

Ok readers my first week of bible college is finished,and I'm halfway into the second week, now my writing won't be as good today because I'm very tired because I had some death sauce, nothing better than New Jersey Fury. Right so my first week was pretty amazing, I love all my classes so far, although I have had to drop Anthropology, as I've been praying and I'm being told its gonna get pretty hectic during my time here, and not just that, I want to be able to have the time to really get into the other classes I'm doing, so I can really focus on Jesus, which is actually what the classes I have left are focused on. So far my favourite classes are Revalation and Romans, and both seem so relevant to my life. It's gonna be great studying Revelation and seeing it isn't just about the end of the world, but the focus of it is centred on Jesus. In the same way Romans really focuses on God, and both are two persons I really need in my life.The homework is pretty easy so I can have time to just be alone with God, explore the town, read and just get to know my new friends. I'm really grateful that God has given me a gift of just having a passion for studying his word day and night, and for giving me an understanding of what I'm reading, I hope he uses it in the days ahead.

I'm also pretty grateful for the new friends I have made here, and whether they know it or not they are having a great effect on my life, for the better. On thursday we had Koinania, which is like a christian fellowship time, and it was a great blessing. We all had to go up and give our testimonies of how we got saved and what God has done in my life. It was really helpful hearing them all go up and sharing what God did in their lives, and very inspiring it was. Then I had to go up near the end, and it was so good to say what Jesus did in my life, and not being afraid of the past,its really amazing to think of what God led me out of and what he's given me,and I want to be more appreciative of that. On wednesday we also had a guys meeting in the dorm, where we all just sat together and prayed for each other,saying what we want God to help us with,and it was so encouraging. I really havnt been into praying much with people before I came here, I was afraid too, and I regret I had that attitude, it is so good people to pray together and with one another, its how things get changed, I'd encourage you all to do it too, pray for each other as much as possible. :)

Now the weekend was great.On friday we went to one of the teachers, Andrew, house to watch a movie, we watched the blind side and it was very good. I would recoment it.Then satuday night we watched Jurrasic Park , havnt seen it since i was a kid but it hasnt lost its touch. On sunday I had an encounter with someone and it shook me. It was this person enquiring about freedom in Christ, and dress codes, and I'm ashamed to say all I could think about instead of preaching the gospel to her was getting away because she seemed crazy. God doesn't judge others or show partiality, so why should we, why should I? The answer is I shouldn't, it is simply wrong and unloving. Christ would want us to treat all people equally,whether they are poor or rich,black or white or healthy and sick, God loves us, so should we. I just pray God just gives me the strength to not be afraid to speak the gospel to any person, no matter what there background, and I pray you do the same.

Right people sorry its a short one but Im very tired and my body is aching, have a good day all

God bless,
Danny.

  2. Ah Danny, it's great to see your heart on these issues. Don't talk to you much in Waterford, but it's nice to see your going on with the Lord.

    The LORD bless you,

  3. You're a good writer, Danny. Every time i read your posts i'm gripped from beginning to end. I suppose that's partly due to the time we spent together when I was in Waterford, where i got to see the kind of person you are: someone who loves God's word, who lives for Jesus, who has a heart of compassion for people, someone who i'm proud to be able to call my friend. Anyway, as I said, i'm thoroughly enjoying your posts, so keep writing - whether your tired or not ;). God bless.
