This journey of walking as God’s new creation is truly amazing. I wrote yesterday about the statement my worship pastor had said to me about “the humble man I am”. The confusion I had about this was truly tied to a false belief that singing was arrogance for me. I have always tried my best to not stand out while singing but let the song and its message be what stands out. Being confident in delivery of a song doesn’t mean being arrogant I realizing. The message of my childhood has finally being overcome. This morning I feel freer than I ever have. This message isn’t just true about singing but it is true about me doing whatever God wants me to do for Him. I’ve lived under this stigma all my life. I feel freer to simply step into an assignment without the burden of my past screaming at me. I don’t know if this makes sense to anyone, but it is no less than a miracle for me. Thank you God and Carol.
I was able yesterday to get a major application completed for an outfit that will consider the young man I spoke about. I know their CFO well and text him that the app is submitted. He is going to take it from there. I’d sure love to see this man have a chance in our world and mostly to let him know how much our loving Father loves him. If this is one way God wants to show this, I pray it will happen.
Today is the wedding day for a young man and his bride to be. This young man came to our Celebrate Recovery about 3 years ago. He was one of the most meek, humble, timid young men I’ve ever met. He had some hurts, hang-ups and habits which complicated even more his belief about himself. He wanted someday to be worthy of a bride but knew that would never happen. Well, today is God’s miracle for him. I just smile and feel warm all over as I write this. He is a genuine example of God’s work in our lives when we finally take a risk and take that first step of faith. I love it!
