So the Journey has begun. I have just completed my 1st
day of orientation with TEAM here in Wheaton Illinois and loving every moment
of it. Staying in the apartments they provide here, I have been placed with a
roommate from Knoxville, Tn who is going to a horse ranch in Baja California
Mexico to help at the ranch there. Just having this guy by the name of Nick has
been very encouraging. The main way he has been encouraging occurred so far
last night. We started talking about theology when the discussion of
Predestination and free will came up (David Or does this sound familiar) when
he spoke from a normal American perspective where God is all knowing but allows
us to choose. I made the point that if we believe that God is all knowing
(which I do) then God knows every decision we will make and free will is in the
present moment we believe the actions we take are fully from our own decision
and not and outside force. I believe completely in the Sovereignty of God and
how he makes everything work out for God. This one situation made me really
appreciate Dallas Theological Seminary and how they have been training and
developing me. I especially have to thank Dr. Horrell for teaching me
thoroughly about the Doctrine of the Trinity and my Friend Rob Scarbro for
beginning the year long discussion into this idea of Gods sovereignty which is
mentioned often but rarely mentioned solely.
I
am becoming more and more excited to see how God is going to use me and mold me
this next summer. My prayer this summer is to depend on God more each and every
day and allow Him to lead me and guide me to the people I am to meet with.
Also, I am thankful for my Church in Dallas, Northwest Bible
Church, for their last 2 years support and for the children’s ministry for
sending me out. I cant thank you enough. Also, I am very thankful for the very
special person Go
d has blessed me with this past few months.
Thank you
