Christmas break can be one of three things - it can tank your spiritual growth, you could hold on to what you had, or it could be a time of huge growth in the Lord. I always seek that latter of the three. For that to happen, one must overcome apathy and the temptress of idleness and press into God all the day long. While there hasn't been incredible growth as of yet (it's only been a week) I have been extremely encouraged. As Jesus came in part to redeem all the things of this earth through living out perfection, he has been showing me redemption in different areas of my life - ones I have been hard towards for years. Basically, he is showing me that life is the fullest in him and that everything in life can and should point towards the immense love we find in Him and Him alone. He REALLY wants to reveal that fullness of love to us so that we are able to experience and share even more of his love through other areas of life!
Nigera Blessings and Prayer
Another encouragement God has given me is continued excitement in myself and others I talk to about Nigeria. Through talks with my beloved friends at church, I was reminded how blessed I am with people throughout my life who believe in sharing Christ's love and joy with others. Join me in prayer this week for God's revelation of how to minister to, share Jesus with, disciple, encourage and help those we meet in Nigeria. God will prepare us and take care of us to those ends, but I want to be asking along with His heart towards those ends the whole way there.
