Friday Funk
My son Jeremiah is eight years old today. Even though I called to sing him Happy Birthday, I missed being with him. I love that boy!

God spoke to me as i read from Proverbs 2,
"[God] is a shield to those who walk in integrity guading the paths of justice
(verses 7b-8a)."

I praise God that as long as i walk in integrity, He is my shield. In layman's terms, intergity is "doing what you say you would." I told God at age 12 that I would follow Him all of my days. My life is His. I want to show Jesus to the world. May God empower me to show Jesus through me.

New Month
I am attending a youth workers' conference in Chicago this week. I am being challenged to shift--to change how I do things in light of the student culture. I need to keep God's Word, the Bible as my compass for my life.

In my readings in Proverbs this morning, God showed me again how I need to listen to God's Truth. In verse seven of PRoverbs 1, God says;
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction."

I do not want to be a fool. I want to learn more about reaching students for Christ. I want to respect God in my life and to allow students to come in and join me on my journey. That's why I blog. I want to follow Christ better and to have others observe my journey. May God inspire you to join me on my life journey with God. peace out,
