Relationship

It is certainly comforting to be reminded that I am in a relationship with God. ... It's not just him cracking a whip and standing by ready to crack down on every move I make. ... He wants me to spend time with him, and he wants me to want to spend time with him.

Face2face: Researching the topic of face to face has proven to be a challenge. We spoke at a little school in Valparaiso, IN, Wednesday morning, and we tried to incorporate our summer theme (Face to face) and verse (Psalm 27:8). Studying and trying to think about what it means to seek the face of God is a challenge.

I hope to learn and grow a lot as I seek God and his face, his will and personality.

God is Who he says he is. He is God.
His Son is Christ Jesus, my Savior and best friend.

Full Journal

The journal I received at the beginning of Outfitters is now full (give or take a few pages that are being reserved for special entries).

I'm glad it's full. It is fun to start in on a new journal and to look back at what I wrote in the now full one.

The very first page in it had notes from our first Apologetics class, with L. T. Jeyachandran. He taught about the importance of the Trinity of God. The fact that God is one God yet three persons is foundational for the rest of our faith. Relationship and holiness go hand in hand because of the relationship of the Three Persons of God.

The Lord Jesus Christ is God, and He is good.
He is King over everything.
