what's new

OK, Wendy normally does this, but here goes for me. Students come in a few days. I'm excited, I can't wait for a new year to start, to meet new people, to love them, and to share the best news ever. However, I'm also scared in a sense. I think it is sin, it is, I mean, it is fear. I've seen all too often now that I love to get meaning out of what I do. If I am successful at my job, then I am successful at life. But with that view point, I am putting the importance on myself, and thus seeking my own glory and own gain. So the question keeps buzzing in my mind, "what if there is no fruit this year? What does that mean for me and Wendy?" God has met me the past week in repentance and in His word. Relationships, loving people, faith, hope in Him, God values these things much more than He values how much I accomplish in my job. I'm not even in control of that, so why do I long to be so much? (I would love to be revered, that's why). May God forgive me, and He does.
If you read this, please pray for me. And please pray for the lost at FMU, that I may live in such a way to tell them of the greatest of Jesus, and that my mouth would speak of it when God moves me to.
May God bless all who read this. He loves you, you know.
