Life Update

So I think facebook killed my blog, but for those who aren't facebookers, I will write an update!
Life is good (more or less). God is good - and that remains, when all else fails, He remains strong. Never-changing. Hallelujah.
I moved into a new place at the beginning of January and live with two wonderful young ladies who are a blessing to my life. We're in a co-op housing unit in the Downtown Eastside, and it's really working out well for us. Community is great.
I got a new job working in a female shelter, Belkin House, for the Salvation Army. I haven't been working for too long, but I love it. The women bring joy into my life, and I am learning so much about resources and other aids. It also gives me lots of time to pray, which is a huge gift.
God is good and is speaking. He's been teaching me to truly bless others and pray good things for their lives, regardless of what they think of me. It's about His Kingdom, not mine. Ha! How silly. It's so easy to bless and love those who love you back. Don't get me wrong, it's still wonderful and rich, but it's just a lot harder to bless those who don't reciprocate the love. You feel me?
The LORD is restoring my zeal for His word, which has been a long time coming, so Praise God for that. I also feel like God has been showing me a lot of my selfishness, and pride, BUT He has also been encouraging me with hope. Rather than getting down and feeling horrible, I see where God is taking me FROM and bringing me TO. I'm trying to stay humble, laying at His feet. "My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by". So Glory to Him. His love endureth forever. Amen.
