WOW, it has been a really long week that is probably because it has been a couple of weeks all flowing together with not much time for myself. But I am at peace. This past weeks was the hardest work wise I think, just because I had a lot of struggles with conflict. But, it was also really good and encouraging. I have so many people supporting me as a person and my work that it is humbling and revitalization and gives me hope. I couldn't imagine life right now if everyone was against me like some people feel, Psalms 88 is a expression of how some people feel all the time, and all of us feel some times. There is no hope in that Chapter of Psalms and in that Chapter of life. But there is hope and I don't feel like that chapter. I have so many friends who love me and give me support. Thank you Lord.
Yeah, I have so many things going on inside my head (which is normal, but really tough emotional things right now, and I have been more emotional sense my uncle died) and it is hard to hear God's voice at times. I am glad God is speaking to me through other people. This morning I got to lead the congregational prayer at church and yeah I really got to pray to God from my heart and how I have been experiencing Him and how I know I need Him. How I and We need to let go of our thoughts, struggles, worries, griefs, guilts and give them to God so we can begin to hear God's voice. It is always awesome to see people being real and authentic in front of church, and that is what I pray I can do.
Also it is AWESOME to see God speak through different people who didn't have everything planned together but how God fits them all together so wonderfully. The ministry of music is not always planned to fit with the message but I love how God works out those details and how we just need to voice what we hear God saying. The woman sang about God's holiness and soverienty when we don't know what's going on and then sang Word of God Speak. aaahhhhh I am at peace. The children's sermon and the main sermon also fit really well. Well I think I might have to share that later though. I am going to try to write an Elder's Weekly email to my students and leaders and whoever I will probably put those on here as well. So Peace be with you also. I am free from all of my struggles right now because God has lifted them. Thanks God.

Hi, MIKE E. Wow. That's significant, heavy stuff happening in your life right now. Take care, my friend. It's encouraging to read your blog and to see your trust in the hope we have in Christ spill out onto the screen. Thanks.
