The Warmth of Love

Okay, so I have just had two meetings and they were awesome. lol

First was a meeting with LT and B(?) concerning discipleship groups and one-on-one discipling, which is awesome. xP I really wanted to have a discipler, and LT is really cool (and a ninja, just saying) so that will be great. Part of discipling apparently is helping the disciple accomplish goals and help them fuel their personal passion and vision. So, LT will be helping me with what I see God calling me to, how I think God can use me to reach this campus and the world. Of course, this is all by God's grace and Holy Spirit in our lives empowering us. It's not me learning to be LT, it's both of us working together to take God at His word and encourage each other, etc. So that was cool. I also got to share about East Asia and how the students we met when they received Christ were so excited and found a hope and strength.

Anyways, next I had a meeting with KC. As I have said before, I haven't been able to really talk with him about God or spiritual stuff in a while and how he has developed a social anxiety. We got to meet up in a quieter location and have a good conversation. From this meeting I have seen how we are in fact friends (which is something I've been having trouble with), the fact that God never leaves us, and I got to hear what he thinks is the major difference in his life. So, we talked a bit about school and this week and stuff, then pretty bluntly "I wanted to ask you, since praying to receive Jesus last year, how has your life changed?" lol. (JW. lol.) He answered about how his life feels 'warmer' now and how he has been brought from isolation into community. That's awesome. We were not meant to live in isolation, but live in community. We were made for relationship. I also found out about how he has been talking with his aunt whenever he has problems and how she helps him by giving Biblical advice and praying for him. Also, very awesome.

We also did the first lesson of follow-up material that we used in EA. It was about how God never leaves us, how we are His children, how nothing can separate us from Him and how we have been given eternal life. These lessons are highly packed with Scripture, which is great because it's God's word and God speaks to us through it. KC read all of the verses (and there were a lot. lol) There will be a lesson later on the Bible, but I told him about how it is God's word and true, which is why we can look to it and find truths. The lesson is pretty straight forward, only really two or three open ended questions and the rest can be answered verbatim from the verses.

It was good. Excellent. I'm so glad that we finally got to do this and that he wants to continue doing so.

Also, he prays for his friends. So good.

Anyways, God is awesome. Even when I thought KC might have drifted a bit from God and lost the peace that God gives us, the hope He gives us, the love we experience; He hasn't. God is always with us even to the very end.
