Why now? Truthfully, I know that Ellen White describes that we are not to “castle build;” but, rather, we are to guard our hearts. Yet, honestly, my guards are loosing position and falling from their post of duty.
To really note, this is my last weekend at Andrews University. Soon I will take my only final and begin packing. Then Thursday I am off to Southern (yippy!!). Excitingly, one week from right now I will be flying over the Pacific to Korea, then to Malaysia, then to the Philippines (hopefully).
In regards to the events of this past weekend, I have discovered much: forgiveness, realities, and many questions were answered.
Yesterday was the Fil-Am 6th year anniversary at their church site. It was enjoyable. We had a communion service, of which I was convicted to two things: I must preach a communion sermon some day and thank God for the forgiveness that is offered by the grace of Him alone. The day was exciting. We took a few pictures in the afternoon. And then in the evening I attended the last concert of the year, of which at least three of my friends were singers.
Afterwards, well, that’s just a long story. Hahaha.
Now, I must return to painfully try to study for tomorrow.

"The Sower went forth to Sow"
Last week I realized that I did not own a copy of the book Christ’s Object Lesson by Ellen G. White. So I determined that this would become a great devotional book for however long it takes me to read it.
In the first section of the chapter “The Sower went forth to Sow,” I have rediscovered some grand truths. White, in the first paragraph, even states that “Because of its simplicity the parable of the sower has not been valued as it should be.” And it is quite true. Either way, I highly recommend the reading of the chapter, and the book. From it I have discovered two new texts to memorize.
She says all this after a grand discussion on the inspiration of Scripture and its grand importance starting on page 39 and onward. Highly recommended. And then she goes on to speak about the educational system – very enlightening.

Jeremiah 23:28“…And he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? Saith the Lord.”
Prov. 30:5, 6“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his word, let he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”
