DEAR FAMILY,
I HAVE BEEN ASKING GOD WHAT WOULD HE LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THIS CITY, NAMED BOSTON. I ASK AND ASK AND ASK SOME MORE..... AT THE MOMENT I AM NOT TOO SURE.
I HAVE BEEN THINKING MUCH ABOUT A HEART CHANGE, HOW IS A HEART FOREVER CHANGED THAT IT DOES NOT GO BACK TO ITS OLD NASTY WAYS.
I HAVE BEEN READING WATCHMAN NEE'S BOOK CALLED THE BREAKING OF THE OUTER MAN AND THE RELEASE OF THE SPIRIT. VERY INTENSE BOOK, I SEE SOME TIES WITH DIETRICH BONHOEFFER SO IF YOU LIKE HIM AND FIND HIS CHALLENGE OF CHRISTIANITY ENJOYABLE, READ WATCHMAN KNEE.
I AM MOVING FORWARD IN LIFE AND NOT LOOKING BACK TO WHOM I WAS LAST YEAR NOR THE YEAR BEFORE..... I WISH I COULD BE REAL WHEN I WRITE THIS SENTENCE. OF COURSE I KEEP MY SELF THE SAME AS THE LAST YEARS OF MY LIFE. I AM COMFORTABLE WITH IT AND I FIT WITHIN THAT SKIN WELL.
YET, MY LOVER-YESHUA- HAS ASKED ME TO SET THIS IMAGE ASIDE. I AM DOING THAT BUT IT IS NOT EASY, I HIT A WALL! YESHUA COMPLETELY SCRAPED MANY OF MY IDEAS TO FIT, RELATE TO MORE PEOPLE AND NOT JUST MY SELF. I HAVE BEEN COMING TO MANY ART BLOCKS RECENTLY SO I HAVE BEEN READING MANY BOOKS TO GET SOME FRESH CREATIVE IDEAS FOR ART. ITS GOOD AND I AM SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD, PEELING OFF THE OLD SKIN TO BE EVEN CLOSER TO CHRIST.
WATCHMAN IS HELPING ME IN MOVING FORWARD.PRAISE THE LORD, FOOL!
I LOVE IT, I AM GRATE FULL TO BE IN THIS PLACE OF LIFE. ITS FRUSTRATING BUT LIVELY.
PEACE OUT.
thank you for the updates Jordan. I know I've said this over and over again but it's still true, your posts are very encouraging and motivating. They help me to see Christ from a fresh, new, exciting perspective.. especially when things are difficult. It's awesome to hear about your struggle to follow Christ.
