Hello Again

It has been many months since I have posted here. I’ve spent some time hiding in a hole as far the internet goes, but have realized that there is a fine line between wise discretion and being too fearful to function.

Today I was reading in Hebrews 1 about Christ being the final revelation to mankind. God spoke to us in many different ways by the prophets throughout B.C. history – but now Christ has come as a fulfillment of that history. He is perfect and complete, radiating the exact nature of God. We need not look to other revelations! It is all in Jesus! What a contrast this is to the way of thinking here. These people do not see Jesus as a final revelation, but as just another stepping stone to a man who claimed to be God’s finally revelation, robbing Jesus of the name only He deserves. I feel like the letter to the Hebrews could function also as a letter to these people, who stand upon the same history, yet refuse the truth in the same way 1^st Century Jews did.

I have had numerous conversations that leave me feeling discouraged. I feel like there is absolutely no way for Truth to even make sense to these people. They are held so tightly by their mindset. Only the power of God can break down this wall. Please pray that He will do this! Please pray for boldness for me, I get discouraged and fearful so easily. Please pray for those here who have placed their faith in the Truth, that they will remain strong in the Truth of Jesus just as the writer to the believing Hebrews wanted his readers to do.

In other news, I have decided to stay another year here. I see God working, and feel like he is still using me here. There is also a girl involved J . The school is going through rough times. Experienced teachers often come expecting thing that aren’t here. They find themselves working harder for less recognition, less results, and less money. Mr. Mabry had a recent quote posted – “Just as Jesus performed what in his culture was the work of a slave, so we in our cultures must regard no task too menial or degrading to undertake.” This is the attitude I need to take! I am here to serve. I am here out of obedience. And HE gives JOY that recognition, results and money to not even come close to resembling.
