Hot days are here for Oklahoma. We get those hot summers. Maybe it wont be so hot as it was last year. Part of the state is still affected by a drought. I have been doing good working on myself, with help from God. I have made mush progress and know I will make more. Those of you that know me personally will be impressed by the man I will become, through God's assistance. I have been praying for friends as usual and have one friend and another associate in jail, whom I have been praying for either a release or at least for God to help them through this time. At a service on Thursday, the Pastor said that it is not always that God wants to deliver us from trouble, but to take us through it. The scriptures tell us that God, does not put us up against anything that we cant handle. Another clergy man has said that sometimes he does...but that he wants us to give over our troubles to him. When your going through that dark night of the soul, just give up your troubles to God. Know that it is not his intention to overwhelm or break you, but rather to build you up through him.
We are seeing great civil rights improvements in the United States with the recent allowing for openly gay Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines to serve in the armed forces as well as get married in some states. There are religious groups who oppose this (I do not), and believe that judgement is coming to America for the recent congressional decisions. I also believe that judgement is coming to America, but mostly because of its decisions to choose evil over good, and love of money or dehumanising the lower classes.
I try to be aware of my short comings and my sins, so that I can know what to pray for forgiveness for, what to work on, and what to pray about. God, I pray that you will forgive me. For I am a sinner and know I will sin again. I know that through your grace I will be made clean and forgiven and will join you to eat at your table in the next world. I thank you for giving us the Messiah who's blood was shed so that I could have life and be free from bondage. Thank you LORD. Amen. I hope that you will pray a similar prayer, and I pray that we will meet in Heaven. I have also been delving into my past, a more negative aspect of my past. I have some questions about something that may have happened to me as a youth and I ma investigating it further. Perhaps some day I will share my insights with you. I pray that God will open my eyes to the truth about the matter and that I will learn from it, and gain material to share and teach from it. I pray that my readers likewise are blessed and forever remember you and that you will bless everyone reading my blog and that more will come and see it, and that it will serve your purpose to spread your word and allow me to share my testimony. I give up my will to you God, and ask to serve in whatever capacity you have for me. It is an honor for me to serve you oh my LORD.
The other night we had a storm, but I slept right through it. I was awoken by thunder, but I was so tired I just made a mental mental note of it, and went back to sleep and forgot about it. The next day something reminded me that it had stormed the night before, but we must not have got much rain, because the ground didn't even show signs of precipitation, except some damp grass. I have been doing a lot of traveling lately between Oklahoma City, and Norman. Going back to Norman is like a vacation for me (which is funny if you remember what I have previously said about Norman) and I get to visit some of my friends there. I would like to live in Norman, but my life right now requires that I NOT be in Norman for the foreseeable future, except to visit. That could be good. I maybe need some time away from Norman. I may be coming back down there on Tuesday of this week and likely Friday of next week maybe. Maybe stay the weekend. Depends on how things go. I would like to do more self learning while I am down there. Manage to get some done, while here in the city. Between the book I am reading and my own spiritual exercises.
I am working on my own flaws and issues and am making progress praise God. I am learning more about me and what I can do to be a better me.
