This is my first semester at Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta, California. I am really excited to be here and continue growing in my relationship with my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He loves us all so much, and it blows my mind in the ways that He works.
So I am finishing up my Genesis class this week. The Lord has taught me so much through this book. He has been showing me the power of prayer and fasting. Throughout the Old Testament, followers of God fasted before making decisions, of course they didnt always do this which illustrates the second thing that He has been teaching me, God doesnt use perfect people. It was Abraham's faith alone that accounted him righteous before God. Abraham believed in the one true living God, he still made mistakes, but the Lord continued to use him. So awesome. The Lord only requires us to commit our lives to Jesus Christ and He takes care of the rest. As you read Matthew 17:14-21 we see speaking of the connection of faith to prayer and fasting. There is a direct connection, when we step back from what our physical body needs we can feed our body spiritually.
It is incredible how the Lord speaks to us through His word and through the encouragement of His other servants. I have many amazing people that He has brought into my life over the past month and each person is unique and has touched my heart in a wonderful way.
I also recieved a very encouraging letter from my best friend Zach Cunningham :). It was such a blessing and brought a HUGE smile to my face.
Lots of Homework....
