Personally, I am glad to see the smiling faces again. The campus was not boring over the break-there was plenty of reading to do- but it was quiet, and anyone who knows me knows that I can do the whole quiet gig for a very limited amount of time. :)
It was great to see my roommates again. They are true men of God. How refreshing to was to sit down and be quizzed about my daily Scripture readings. I was thrilled that someone had demonstrated interest about my walk with the Lord. They are sincere in their friendship and encouraging in their words. I could not ask for anything more.
I have been given the opportunity to play basketball for the college. I am struggling a little with a sore thigh but, oddly enough, it does not seem to affect me when I run. I am thrilled to play basketball again but I confess to being extremely rusty. Learning inbound and set plays is a blast from the past, but a blast that requires alot of thought. In spite of my height, basketball doesn't come naturally to me. Im gonna have to work hard.... and work hard I will!
I am making this short. I feel incredibly blessed to be attending school at Patrick Henry for the second semester. The Lord has provided for me in ways that humble and awe me. I am sincerely thankful for my supportive family and equally grateful for those that have provided for me to attend PHC this spring. May the Lord richly bless you!
Thank you for taking the time to catch up with me. I will try to keep this blog updated regularly with highlights from my weeks and prayer requests.
I leave you with a passage of Scripture that I deeply appreciate.
Lamentations 3: 22-27
"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young."
Prayer requests:
-For my entire family, for their health and safety. Please pray especially for Daniel as he is taking the SAT soon. Pray for high scores that are a reflection of how hard he has worked all through high school.
-That the Lord will continue to work in my heart and life so that I may know Him and His wondrous love more.
-For a good start to the semester and wisdom as I try to schedule my time. I struggle with time management occasionally :)
I thank the Lord for all of you. Please let me know if there is anything that I may be praying about for you!
In Christ,
Martyn
