Tonight at work I was lifting a case of bananas.... We are supposed to squat and bend knees as we lift to save our back. I lifted the case and heard a rrriiiiiiiiip. I tore a gaping hole in the bottom end of my work pants! I tied another apron around the back for the remainder of the night. On the way home I had to stop in at Wal-Mart to buy more pants and pick up a few other items. I walked up to the register only to realize that I didn't take my wallet with me to work when I left this afternoon! Because I work at 5am tomorrow, I had little choice but to come home, change, and head back up there. What a night!
Things have been going alright lately. I decided not to commit to the church puppet evangelism team. I can't guarantee I'd be able to make meetigns and rehearsals once school starts. I've been doing a refresher study in the spiritual gifts in the mornings as I'm able, otherwise I just read a Psalm or another chapter elsewhere for my devotion. It's interesting how much ambiguity I'm finding in how Bible teachers interpret the gifts. Some suggest that we only have one gift, others that we can have many gifts, and still others that the gifts manifest themselves at different times in different ways. Some say the gift of prophecy is no longer for us, others say it was replaced by the gift of teaching, many say it includes foretelling and AND forthtelling and today takes the form of preaching. Very interesting.
I also had a very encouraging meeting with my accountability partner last night from like 7-11pm. he really does challenge my reasoning, thoughts, and opinions. I'm so thankful he isn't just a "'yes' man" that agrees with everything I say. That wouldn't be accountability. He brought some interesting perspectives for me to consider. I greatly appreciate his influence in my life.
School begins the 28th and I'm excited. These entry-level classes will really help tie up any loose ends of the foundations of my biblical knowledge and growth.
Prayer:
-A sound mind, clarity, and courage in all relevant areas of life lately
-A co-worker I've been witnessing to
-That God would speak through my co-laborer and I as we try for the first time to preach downtown during lunch hour this Thursday from 11am-12noon
-favor with Moody as the time to call them for an application status and planning to visit is quickly approaching
