I just wanted to give everyone an update. Things are going well. Doug is teaching a study at church that is taken from Colossians 1:27. We'll be studying it for 21 weeks. I am so excited. I've heard the verse all my life. I know that the Holy Spirit lives inside of me. I know that everytime I teach, witness, or counsel, that He is doing it through me. It has nothing to do with me. But we are learning how to let Jesus be in control every minute of every day. One of the things he said has really stuck with me this week. I'm just a container. I've repeated that to myself a thousand times until now it is becoming a part of the way I live. If I'm just a container for Jesus who's living inside of me, I'm not concerned with my comfort, my rights, what other people think about me, my feelings, etc. There's no pride or self-condemnation because it's about Jesus and not me. This may be the way you've been living for years, but I'm so far from there. The process of getting there is so exciting though. It's called sanctification. Duh!
I'm doing well physically. I got a WiiFit for Christmas. I have worked out everyday. It has really improved my balance and the strength in my legs. I'm still really tired after work, but I'm not nearly as weak. That is a huge blessing. My job is going well. I continue to learn new things about banking. It is very interesting and I enjoy the work. Have a great week!
