ramblings...
For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 28
I cannot get these last two verses in Acts out of my head! Paul was in a RENTED house and boldly he preached and talked about God. This is EDGE!
Living in a house that's not my own was truly challenging at first. It's not like the woman Alissa and I live with is horrible or anything like that. In fact, she is so amazing and kind. But there is something I grew quite fond of in being able to decorate MY house and rearrange things every-so-often I am not privileged to now.
Long Beach is more and more becoming my home. I went 4 days in a row without getting lost! That's a blessing! I'm still in need of a community and friends here, but God is faithful and I feel since having been around the Navs in college so much of the time I find myself saying,. "OH! That's how this happened!" or "that's why they our staff this!"
I've been amazed at the number of International Students I've run into and how God has very clearly opened and shut doors of ministry at Cal State- Long Beach! I am praying you all continue to stay encouraged and I look forward to some sweet time together in Florida.
Remember our job is not about a return of investment, but to love and love well!
