So it's been a week since the camping trip, and as suspected, people have fallen away from the challenge that was proposed, or so that's my guess. Solomon's Porch asked that people write in and announce their way to make more time for God and then after keeping up with it for a few days write again about how things have changed, if they had. Well, I spoke with Shannon last night and it seems that no one has written nor followed up with anything. I wrote him this week telling about how I have started a personal journal about the ways God is and has revealed Himself to me, and then followed up with more things He has done through me this week.
I am trying to stay focused on what it is God has planned and not be discouraged by other believers. I know that those people I was with love you greatly, but I don't see or feel them seeking. I don't know their hearts, and I can't say what they are doing one way or another, but from the incompletion of such a simple act shows that perhaps they have not really clicked and reached the next level of closeness with God. Like I said, I am trying to be discouraged, but I do look forward to the time that things click and their walk intensifies with The Father, because at the moment, though I am surrounded by brothers and sisters in Christ, I do feel alone at this level, I don't feel challenged enough. I search and seek on my own for what The Truth has to say and what it is I am to do.
I see so many opportunities that God has placed in my life to plant seeds and do His will, and I am taking them gladly. I pray that my heart is in the right place and that I move with the right motives. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that Your Holy Spirit moves in me and continues to guide me in the direction You desire me to be. From simple talks with friends, to helping those in a time of crisis, giving shelter or a ride to a stranger, please show me your will and give me strength to follow through with what You desire. AMEN.

Leighann W: I do believe in my heart that God has chosen you to reach people in ways no one else can. I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done for me and i want you to know that i will always remember it. Ever since that night i just can't believe how happy i am and how good things are working out. And i owe it all to God and your caring. Eric i understand that you are working very hard on keeping your focus on God and what he has planned for you, and i don't want to get in the way of that, but i do need to tell you something that has been built up inside of me for a long time. Everyday i find myself sitting on the steps when nobody's around hoping you will show up. Its out of this world how strongly i feel about you and how amazing i feel when i talk to you about everything. I just really needed God in my life and i still have yet to grow and follow the right path. But every time i see your face and sit next to you i feel such a purity and innocence that i love. I can't keep letting it build up inside of me anymore, i had to let you know that i think you are my angel.
