This entry is late today.  I started the morning at one of the hospitals in Boise to pray with a friend who is having neck/back surgery.  In fact he is in surgery as I write this.  He has come so far in his walk with God.  In fact, I’d love to tell you all the things God has done for him just in the past couple months to make this surgery possible.  It is his story, however,  so I won’t.  I’ll just say that God is so good.  This man will have a testimony to soon share with others.  The great thing is that he is ready now to share it.

Last night’s class–7 Pillars, was excellent.  There is one other in the class who has a story somewhat as my own.  He had a very abusive dad and had a couple different events from gay adults in his growing up years.  He hasn’t had the professional help that I’ve had (but has started it) and he was unable to complete some of the assignments as they were too painful.  I complimented him for even being there last night.  He is only 28 years old and truly wanting to overcome.  How I pray for him as well as those still silently suffering in their guilt and shame.

God is so good and so patient waiting for us to seek Him.  The more I live in my new creation the more I realize the beauty of living today.  Life may not be easy but it is always worthwhile.  There is no hiding, no secrets, no lies–instead there is trust, joy, assurance and so much more.
