Finishing Strong

Hey Everyone,

I would like to encourage you to check out the following video from our DTS chapel service this past Thursday.  Dr. Abraham Kuruvilla spoke on Caleb and finishing strong.  Rather than going into more details regarding the message, I would just suggest watching the video.  If you do, let me know what you think.

Back To School...

I just got back yesterday evening from a nice spring break visit to Colorado.  I have to say that it was a very good time and enjoyed getting to see a lot of friends and family.  There really is no place like home, if I may steal a line from the Wizard of Oz.  At the same time though, I must confess that I have trouble going home, mostly because it is hard for me to leave.  I love my friends and family very much, and being so far away from them all the time really drives me nuts.  So that is in my prayers right now.  Praying for comfort and peace and that I would not be homesick, because that is just miserable.

I heard a pastor on the way home yesterday talking about how if we want to follow Christ, we must die to ourselves.  We must get rid of our life and adopt the life that Christ has for us.  I couldn't help but think that this is what I must really learn right now.

On another note, anyone ever struggle with whether you are doing what God wants you to be doing with your life?

A Quick Prayer Request

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a quick, personal prayer request with anyone who reads this post.  If you wouldn't mind, please pray that I would not compare myself to fellow classmates and other people here at DTS.  

When I verbalize it, it sounds rather simple, but believe, this is very much a struggle for me.

Ultimately, when I find I compare myself to fellow classmates, it puts me in a funk and I find myself trying to outdo others or absolutely worrying about how others see me.  So yeah, if you wouldn't mind, or if you think about it, please pray that God would intervene and that I would no longer compare myself to others.

Thanks everyone.

Do y'all have anything that I can be praying for, for you?
