transition training

Howdy howdy to you.
Hope that all is well and that you are experiencing peace and joy in your days though they may be long and hectic.

I have not posted in a while. Pretty much cuz' I like to think through what my post is going to be about and just what my message is that I am trying to communicate to the few that actually look over and read To Burn Again. But I have realized that I am blessed by this blog and it helps me to keep track of what my life is going through as I strive to follow Christ as much as I can. So simply put, I am wingin' this.
Life as of late has been interesting to say the least. I don't know why it has taken me so long to realize this myself, but I am in this transition period.

No longer a student by occupation; yet still learning. And I have got lots to learn.

Being done-ditty-done with school and a SDSU Alum has brought on changes in the relationships and the community that I once was comfortably part of. It is clear that there are some relationships that God only had purposed to stay in place while I was an AGO Active and student at State. So things are different but I thank God for the brothers who have remained closer than a brother- you know who you are (PRV18:24) and for those new people who have entered my life.

One thing however that I have realized. one thing. one truth.
I can not hope, expect, wait, depend, and trust on anything or anyone else like I can upon God. There have been many times where it seems like no one has time to hang out or meet up or to even seek me out. Many times where I can it seems like I am left all alone. But it is during this time of transition that God's voice and spirit have been speaking to me more and more as I have been seeking Him out. How easily it is to get caught up with putting a greater focus on wanting to be with people to keep us company rather than simply taking time in silence and solitude to meditate on what God has to say to you and you only... There have been many times when I just dont know what to do and I just realize that God wants me to be still. to be quiet. and to worship Him to see and take in His Will for me and feel His great sovereignty over every thing... I have found great peace and wisdom in the words of Mother Theresa- realizing that prayer is truly a lifestyle. Also that just as I have great joy and passion in training my body, I much more need to train and discipline my spiritual life to be a more godly man (1TIM4:7&8).

Geez, I have rambled off. There's more stuff, but I guess I'm still chewing on it and will spit it on a post soon.

Peace.
