Faith is contagious

It was the first day back at the office without Jennifer. Getting into a routine is good for me. The first and most important part of the routine is getting back into my devotional routine. I slacked off a bit as everything was focused on Jennifer. I don’t necessarily think that it is a bad thing. Ecclesiastes tells us that there is a time and purpose for everything. So my pursuit of Jennifer was totally of God. It was nice though to have someone to pray and do devotions with. So I feel more empowered today. I am so joyful lately. It feels great being in the direct center of God’s will. I feel like I can overcome any obstacle. It has been really rough go at work the last few months. There are several psychological reasons for that, that I may explain someday, but for now, I shouldn’t go into specifics. But even with all the negative going on, I still have such an amazing peace. Its kind of appropriate that the theme of tonight’s living group was Faith. “If you believe all things are possible.” God has come through for me so many times, that my faith is just off the charts right now. I feel like spiritually, I can do almost anything right now because of my faith. Im being so specific with the details of my life so hopefully that you can be encouraged as well. I think that God is going to use my life as an example to others. That’s why im so comfortable in sharing my problems, faults, faith and hope with you. This blog is a good outlet. I want to use the media to further the reach someday. But that is up to God. Im merely along for the ride. The blog will have to do for now.

Something hit me today as I was working. My priorities are shifting a bit. I know God sent me a on a mission here. Is the mission over? Have I accomplished what I needed to, learned what needed to, helped who I needed to help? Is my mission just beginning, is it on pause? Im not sure. God is doing so many incredible things in my life. I know Im in the midst of his plan, that’s why the status of my mission is not really important right now. What I do know is over is my single life (praise God). Whatever happens after this Im confident that I’ll still be in the center of God’s will. Where I live, what I do for work is not important. But being with Jennifer right now is. I believe that God brought her into my life to be my partner. I think Im about to embark on phase 2 of God’s plan. He knew I needed a helpmate to get me through. Jennifer is that partner. We are planning on getting married as soon as possible, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we will be living together right away. So some might ask…what’s the rush? Well…since we both know that God has designed us for each other and we are a perfect fit in so many ways, Why not the rush? Im living my life by 100% faith right now. Its nice having someone support me with whatever decision I make.

Jennifer has a lot more pressure on herself that I have right now. She’s trying to finish her dissertation, maintain her career, get a new roof, take care of her dogs, rent her house, pack and move, she’s got so many different things on her plate. I feel bad for her. My life seems so simple compared to hers right now. I think though that Jennifer is relying upon me for part of her spiritual guidance to get her through the rough stuff. Apparently…faith is contagious.
