I have so little to say at this moment. For the past few weeks, I've been feeling responsible for and response-able about my financial situation. I've been working part-time and going to school for the past few years. I want to work full time and go to school part-time for as long as I still go to school. Its not been an easy transition so far. Its been a lot of waiting, hoping, chilling, and praying. My eyes have been on God and I. I see other successful people and think yeah working on getting there, MUST. GET. THERE.
Consequently my eyes have not been peeled for things and people that I believe glorify God. I have noticed a few things.
The book: "Boundaries" By Dr.s Henry Townsend and John Cloud. It glorifies God in that it seeks to make people more like God. God is a definitely a God of boundaries and healthy ones. In being like him, we must build and maintain healthy wise boundaries. This book definitely helps.
African Christian Fellowship Young Adults: The National Board.
I don't think I've met another group of more talented, professional, and Passionate people. These guys put on a AWESOME conference in Chicago. I left inspired to go change my world.
Open Air Campaigners
These guys glorify God through spreading the gospel, on the street, to anyone who will stop to solve their puzzles and listen. They are a network of people determined to keep speaking the gospel out loud, for as long as they can.
My mother:
She is sixty today. She raised some of her sisters, and 5 strong sons with my father. She's nothing short of amazing. Her strength, her joy, her vision, I don't know a woman who doesn't admire her. I wouldn't know of the many times she sought to serve God if she didn't tell me. She's given her time to patients, the homeless, the mentally handicapped, and normal people who could use an extra mom. I only get one birth mother. I'm glad I have one who this AWEsome.
Joy Ike:
I have seen her perform like two more times after the last post. I've had the chance to speak with her a few times. She seems to be one of the few that has figured out how to fly, with her feet still on the ground. Rumors: Get it. The album will make you question your life.
Matthew 5:16
"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may glorify your Father who is in heaven."
These things were not done in secret. (When I get a job, it won't be a secret! :) They were done in the open air for the sake of a Living God. Let us go and shine with them.
