I ought to praise You like I should....

Hehe I still remember when SH compiled that song we had for our famous Apostles "dance" and he excerpted that line to add to the song.

Due to the fact it was just the two of us at fellowship, I recently had a fruitful conversation with a friend of mine about the intricacies of faith and salvation. Turns out he only had very surface knowledge from what others in the church have been able to tell him. But myself, having been through numerous Sunday School classes and now studying some of these topics in even more depth at *seminary* was able to provide him with much more through answers. I really want to PRAISE and thank God that He has been providing me with so many opportunities to apply and use what I learn even though it's only my first credit/class~!

I am also very inspired by seeing some possible foreshadowing of the Good that God can do from some of my past experiences. Although not to imply this is what IS going to happen, but rather God it "would be nice". One of my RHCBC friends CK is currently serving in Asia right now and I remember his love of spiritual books in the past and how "well read" he is. Now recently one of my other friends has developed a passion for spiritual books too and I hope one day God will use him in big ways as well :) And my friend with the inquisitive mind I was talking to recently reminds me a lot of myself when I was his age, always had questions... And I only hope I can do for him what PJ (or should I say MJ, LOL I know I use a lot of Spiderman analogies, but I mean like Missionary-J) used to do for me and help to answer and address these questions. Who knows? Maybe one day God will use that to call one more shepherd into His fold? :)

On a side note... "the hero in me" story continues and I know you might think it's silly, but with all the increased travel I had to do recently I really praise God for the lower gas prices and I really think to myself He is in some way blessing me that way. And even when I met up with my friend I thought/teased myself, I have to make it out tonight, the whole world is counting on me for the gas prices... AND low and behold they did go down 2 cents the very same night!
