Oh Grace....

This past week there could be little to nothing to separate me from any other average joe. I read my Bible maybe twice and hardly picked any others books as I usually do. I spent a lot of time hanging out with the people I work with playing pool, telling stories, joking, and wrestling. In the midst of all of my business God did something miraculous! He stayed in my heart despite my lack of bible reading and despite my lack of beating myself up over my sin. I can not attribute what has happend this past week to anything other than the Lord moving in the lives of His children. Both mine and those who are coming to know Him. I have recieved the chance to share my full testimony, tell the Gospel story, counsel others about there relationships, stress to them the relevence of the Christian faith using apologetics, and just learn to love them and meet them where they are.
It is not about me! Jesus thank you! This is so big in my life, perhaps one of those life defining moments. Sure in the grand scheme of things this is just another mountain top experience, but I have learned to recieve such experiences with joy and am learning to embrace the "Valley of Humiliation" with a willing heart. I don't feel like writing using proper grammar or spelling, I don't feel like trying to sound deep. I just want to share my joy. Being a Marine isn't that bad when you do it to the glory of God.
