Hey Guys,
I figured it has been a while and I would update you on the circumstance that God has led me into. It is the third week of DTS now, and so far we have spent a week on lectures about "Father, Heart of God", and this week is now Foundations of Christianity. These may seem basic but the implications of what they mean go so much deeper than we can ever fathom, because God is that awesome, and there is always more to learn about Him, and who we are through Christ.
Let me ask you this... How do you respond with other people are blessed?... Grace and the undeserved love of God destroys cause and effect. Its hard for me to grasp but I am starting to realize more and more that I do not deserve.. anything. Just because I have been a christian for 20 years does not mean I deserve more blessing than the newborn christian of 45... The father desires a family where those who do a little are loved as much as those who do a lot..
This being said... a universal desire for every single person on the planet is this... to be known and to be loved... So how about this, lets get our heads out of our own butts, and try spreading some love on those around us.. I am 100% positive, it will be appreciated.. if you truly mean it. People can tell if you are faking insenserity. Gods love is free from comparison, so should ours. In spite of who YOU are, and in spite of who I am, God loves.
Alright, lol, this aside... I hope you are enjoying the pictures, because I sure am having an awesome time living them out. A regular day in my life consists of waking up at 6:45am for breakfast at 7. Worship at 8. Lectures from 9 till 12'oclock lunch. then it is either track at 1:30 or more lectures or small groups. At 3 I have work duties which for me is helping to build the hospitality 4-plex across the street for mission builders. Currently we are working on siding. This will go to 5 and then its supper time. Which usually means the day is done. Except for tuesdays in which we have evening worship and lectures and thursday which we have community meetings. Soo, my days are pretty jam packed. And in all that I have to find time for bible meditation, prayer, and reading my assigned book. So again, my apologies for not responding or writing very much.
Finally, for those of you who are curious, my outreach is taking place in Penang, Malaysia! I will be leaving Dec 9th or something close to that and be back around Feb 10th.
Please pray for me,
Blessings,
Kieran
Oh Kieran I appreciate the time you take to blog, it is so good to read how God is working in your life and how your days go. It's a good thing to be busy and have your days filled. Sometimes it's difficult for us to wrap our human thoughts around the idea God loves us, blesses us and doesnt keep track of deserving or not. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteHappy to see a new post! You are growing in so many ways Kieran, that is so good to hear.
ReplyDelete"God is that awesome"..I like that. And I agree we need to keep spreading God's love, it's the very least we can do considering all He has done for us.
What happens at the community meetings?
I definetly am curious to know where you are going..sounds exciting!
We are praying for you daily and often that is many times a day as you come to mind.
Love and blessings..missing you,
Grandma
