Hello!
Today felt different than most.. First of all we went to the Market Mall today for work, and it was a blast because I got to see some of my Project friends at their job too! Although I got the impression that it is not a good idea to walk into a retail store to say hi to a friend when there are about 4-5 people all wearing intimidating maroon shirts at once... Well we did a great job, so much so that we finished a lot earlier than expected (yay for excellence).
Tonight was FTWAP (free time with a purpose). It is intended to spend time with co-workers and personal evangelism with people we know from within the city. My friend Jamison and I decided that we wanted to go out again in the downtown area and see if there were any homeless people who we can maybe help by buying them a meal and talking with them. Unfortunately we weren't able to find any (I suppose that is also a good thing???) so we went right back to the dorms. I was in a bit in a hurry because I had to get back in time for Prayer meeting. Fortunately I was only three minutes late, as I bolted into the room and sat for a moment to catch my breath.
I was going to pray for outreaches, and I did. And I was blessed to have my friend Sebastian there so that we can talk together and share what is on our hearts. We work together with the same company so it is easy to identify with our troubles in regards to co-worker outreach. Talking and praying with him really emphasized how much in love I am with my Christ.
I'm in love!! And I can't begin to explain how good it feels to KNOW that you ARE in love. It is not a highschool feeling, this is for real. God's word is the bread of life, and that has never been so true than what I've felt in the past 7 weeks. Not a day goes by where I won't think about my Father and His love for me. Not a day goes by where I don't pray to him and petition my wants and desires. He knows what I need and I'm trusting him completely, even if sometimes it's not what I can see as a good thing at this particular moment.
This last week had really changed my perspective on my life, my future. I'm not good yet with sharing openly about any future endeavers, but I believe God has put a passion in my heart for reaching out to young people; particularly teenagers and senior high students. It has even gone to a point where my career plans may change: I had planned to go into law school in Ottawa after my undergraduate studies, but now am carefully considering maybe entering teacher's college instead... I am prayerfully considering what God plans to do with my life; after all he IS the master planner ;)
I am leaving this weekend to go camping with three other guys as it is a weekend off for me. I pray that this will be a great weekend filled with rejuvenation and relaxation. I love you, and God bless.
Peter
