Jon Day

Is my brother in law.

And I'm proud to call him that.

I love him.

He's an amazing:

Father

Husband

Brother

Christ Lover.

He came to see me today here at CBU and I just loved every second of it.

We enjoyed chapel, a quaint meal at the caf with some lovely friends of mine and a few deep conversations and mostly prayer.

James is our favorite.

²Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. ⁴Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ⁵If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. ⁶But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; ⁸he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

AMEN BROTHA.

So there's this thing I want to talk to you about...

TRUST.

Today's chapel totally spoke to me. Dr. Micah Parker did it once again, he had me open eared and open hearted the entire service.

Something I've always had struggle with would basically be summed up in 1 Peter 5:7

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

I have always known that God needs to handle my problems, but I've never fully given them to him. That's exactly what I want and NEED to do.

Another thing Dr. Parker talked about was sorrow. We all go through at least one sorrow in life. Now I wouldn't say I've been through "horrifying" sorrow, I've had my share of "mild" sorrow I suppose, but when the day comes I know I will have my amazing maker protecting me.

Guys and gals...PLEASE just TRUST in God. If you give it all to him there will be no more looking back.

Romans 8:28 "In all things, God works for the good of those who love him."

To God: 

I love you.

Somthing that's been on my heart

1 John 4:21

Talks about loving one another. Something I've always thought I've done, but really if I'm honest with myself I think I love all, but I find that I don't love them as much if I've had to "forgive" them.

Like I'm holding a grudge. And that isn't like me.

I've forgiven for the moment and then just stuff it back in the corner of my mind until it just so eagerly happens to come up again and BAM there it is, heavier and more distraught than before.

I don't want this burden on me any longer.

So here God, take me and heal me. Help me forgive past events/past people/past actions and let me love them FULLY.
