Today was a completely amazing day:
1.) This time in my life has shown consistency in my relationship with God than any other point in my life. I say that humbly, knowing how quickly that consistency can be tested by various situations and temptations. However, let it suffice to say that God has been so good to me. And I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I can’t imagine that things will get better once I get home…but I know they will.
2.) I ran my two miles this morning, like I’ve done for nearly every morning for the last two weeks - not to mention those other points in the year that I exercised. The good news is this: just before I left for Santa Barbara, I had a check-up with my doctor. I weighed 326lb then. I weigh 310lb now. And hopefully that number will lessen this week even more. I feel great. My asthma is better. My singing is better than ever.
3.) I really don’t have a third one, other than the fact of mentioning that I am so excited about coming home on Sunday. God has put so many plans into my heart, not only for my life and relationship with Him (though that’s certainly exciting enough), but also concerning my involvement at Ouachita and at Park Hill Baptist Church. I miss my family. I miss my friends. I miss my students. I miss good fried chicken. I really stinking look forward to coming home. I may or may not post another update before I leave - but I’m sure I will see each of you soon, God willing.
