staying connected

i have been here in kansas city for a week now, and i haven't exactly had much for internet connection. nevertheless i wanted to make sure and continue posting here on blogger and let you all know that just because i am back in the states doesn't mean that i am not going to blog anymore. i have found a lot of pleasure in keeping this blog, and hopefully i will be able to continue posting something maybe once a week or so.

ihop has been refreshing. i have missed so much the communion of saints and the musical worship of our Lord. christians are made for community, the whole beginnings of the church was that very thing, a community of people who confessed Jesus Christ as Lord, who regularly met to commit their time to prayer, fellowship, teaching and learning, and of course eating (the Lord's supper or communion). needless to say this week is changing my heart, giving me hope, giving me reason and encouragement. God is faithful.

i litrally just red this quote a few minutes ago, but i love it already. it is from phantastes by george macdonald. he is the literary father and inspiration to fantasy authors like cs lewis and tolkien.

"shadow of me!" i said, "which art not me, but which representest thyself to me as me; here i may find a shadow of light which will devour thee, the shadow of darkness! here i may find a blessing which will fall on thee as a curse, and damn thee to the blackness from whence thou hast emerged unbidden."

im still learning. who isn't? but i believe in my God, and i know He is faithful.

He who calls you is faithful, He will surely do it. I Thessalonians
