Transparency

Hey theree...
hm...Hope you won't mind if I blog a little prayer request....
I hope that you can pray for transparency in the fellowship...I would say that is the one thing that most of us struggle with. I don't see a true family fellowship without being transparent with each other...without sharing deep meaningful struggles or praises together...if we can't be transparent with each other, then I think that just makes us a bunch of superficial brothers and sisters that don't truly care for each other. Bryan's told us over and over to be transparent with each other...and we still haven't reached that deep of a level yet...it's kind of sad really..and I know some people prefer to just share with one or two people, but isn't that still favoritism? We should be able to be transparent with anyone. Esp with people in the fellowship....correct me if I am wrong?

prayer blog, on a whim

Hi people from home! This is Tim Young, trying to get by on his first few days at college. I made this blog because some people from home asked me to let them know if/when I had any prayer requests while I was down here at SD. And I even though I know I'm making this blog on a whim, I'm really hoping that it's a good whim, because I think over these next few months a lot of crazy things are going to happen... over here, and over where you are. I'd really like it if I could be able to share my troubles and my praises down here, and likewise vice-versa! I'm gonna miss my family from home... thank you in advance for all your support and prayers that I know have already reached our wonderful God.


So shall I start this whim off? A couple of praises first: my transition for me (at least for these past 4 days) has been surprisingly smooth. I've been meeting the people on my floor and the floor above me, and have been enjoying my time here. Oh, and I've been a handful of Christians who are also going to be looking for fellowships & churchs around. Prayer request? Really to remember this grace that God has given me... I don't want to become complacent and be sung to sleep in this college setting. So please pray for my faith, that it'd grow and not be stagnant. Also, classes start in two days, and i'm not sure how my homework load will be.. i'll get back to you in this. =]. Thank you everyone!



actually, more importantly about this blog, i would really like it if any/all of you (yes, YOU) would share your prayer requests so i could support you as well! & everyone else who reads this xD! please contact me at tdy223@yahoo.com if you would like to be a part of this mysterious "whim". maybe God will do something with this, maybe not. it's in His hands. but i hope that we could continue to support each other by lifting each other up to an all-powerful, all-loving God. thanks for reading all the way through, God bless all of you!
