.: God :.
Ready. Set. Go! Today marked the first day that Tabitha and I served in our church’s college group. This week, we divided up (guys and girls) and dove into a panel discussion around the topics of:
How will I know that I have found the one?
How do I choose a career?
To just name a few. The guys on the panel, fellow small group leaders, gave their answers to the questions. It. Was. Good. Felt like I got to know who I am serving with.
Key Things I heard:
That God ordains our steps. You may feel like you are not where you should be on the boardgame of life, but you are exactly where you need to be– I needed to hear this–. God will show you the job to pursue, bring the right girl into your life (if you aren’t married), you just have to keep moving forward in prayer. Keep moving forward. Read the Bible. Pray. And find others to travel with along the way.
Be the person who you want your spouse to be. Don’t worry about the rest.
Overall, it was a really good time of men sharing wisdom. Tab talked about the women’s discussion and it sounds like the panel discussions were good.
Something I heard in church:
Is prayer a time you can be honest with God about yourself or are you presenting yourself as someone else?
I am super honest in my prayer life, but I have to admit, I haven’t always been so. Reading Dane Ortlund’s Gentle and Lowly repeatedly demonstrated to me that God is a safe place to be yourself. You can pray without fluffing your prayer up. God is big. He can handle it.
.: Life :.
I’ve been doing the commute/work/commute home thing during the week. Sometimes the commute isn’t bad as it gives me time to decompress on the way home; Other times the commute drives me nuts. What’s made the commute better though has been Audible. I’ve listened to almost all the Dungeon Crawler Carl books, The Hobbit (for the first time), and am currently listening to Lord of the Rings. Andy Serkis narrates Lord of the Rings (the actor who played Gollum in the movies) and his reading is just superb.
I am also trying to call people while commuting. That equals about an hour to talk and find out what is going on in various family members lives.
.: Video Games :.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Switch 2) was my jam this week. As I told Tab, the game feels like staring through a glass that is fogged up. I remember towns, places, and people but do not remember exact solutions to puzzles. I have really enjoyed what I have played so far.
That’s me in a nutshell.

What about you, what are you playing, reading, watching or learning in your spiritual walk?
