Breaking traditions...

That was the message from Bobby today at skyline. I love that church!

You know, I am am being severly challanged in my thinking these past days. Just when I think I have things figured out, I am back on my knees searching for answers I thought I had. I'm thankful that I have the contemporary concerns class because it is helping me stretch my critical thinking skills as well as making my faith my own. Right now I am stuck. What does God expect? Ha, good one, right? I believe that the Bible has expectations from God, I mean afterall, it is a revelation from Him, right? Wow, I could spell my thoughts out in detail, but they don't make much sense right now. I am in the middle of a painful, confusing growth process, but it actually feels good. Who would've thought.

Finding healthy, progressive churches in the area is hard. However, I have found one awhile ago and I am excited. (Not as good as Alvin C of C though). It is Skyline church of Christ and I have made it my personal mission to bring Freed students to it. So far, few o' students have accepted the invite, but the ones who have enjoy it immensely! It's great to be in a fresh, worship atmosphere at the end of the week. Skyline, makin' it great!

Ugh y'all, for real, working at Pizza Hut is hard, ya hear me? I thought I would be a gent a volunteer to be the closing cook since the original called out. Um, woah, what a mistake. I worked 9 hours and I left the store blisterous, soar, cut up, ruffled, and smelling like chlorine. All for close to minimum wage. I really started having thoughts about what hell was like. Praise God for Bacchelor degrees and college, right? I work tomorrow and hopefully I'll get to be a driver so I can make the tips. I felt a lil envious of my roommate lately. He is a server at Red Lobster where it is not uncommon to make 100 bucks in tips in one night. Oh well, be happy for him and give God the glory, right? By the way, it's been raining for 3 days. I wish it would stop.

God has done amazing work in my life. There have been a couple of times I fell subject to laziness and despair, but somehow he found a way to promptly lift my head and encourage me to perservere. Praise God! You know, God is a good guy. I love Him, you should too. He has a way of making people smile.

Because of the Messiah that allows us to smile,
Potter
