Update

Jump to Comments

So I guess this is just a little update.

Resolved was great. I didn’t really learn a whole lot, but it was good to be surrounded by men of God and fellowship and be encouraged. I continued to solidify my desire to go to seminary. I don’t know what I want to do with it, but if there is anything worth studying in this world, it is God.

So I have like a million books in my room, and I plan on spending the summer reading them all. Peet’s hasn’t called me back, and I am not going to call them back. God has blessed me with a job at Islands, and I think that taking a second job will take time away from eternal things, namely, spending hours in the word and studying and growing in my knowledge of Him. I also am going to start writing more. I want to write a systematic theology of my own. I want to write out what I believe, and why, not only to strengthen my own views and not jump to take the views of others, but to practice my studying and writing, in hopes of one day being a writer, in part, if not full-time.

I realized that I have been coveting for the past eight months. I knew what I was doing was wrong ethically and/or socially, but to desire someone who doesn’t belong to me is straight up sin, and I need to repent of that. It’s going to be hard because it’s not an act but rather a mindset and a desire of the heart that can only be changed through prayer and petition. Pray for me. And pray that I won’t be yearning for love, because I know plenty of godly men who are single, and I know that they take full joy in serving God, instead of searching for love.

Please pray for Lyndsay. I care about her, and though only she and God know where she is spiritually, I should give the benefit of the doubt and just pray, because I don’t know. Pray that God grants her repentance, and that she makes small steps, or a giant step, to move in the direction of godliness. Pray for edifying fellowship and for humility. Pray that I don’t have underlying motives for caring about this.
