An update

Hello blogger! long time! No no it's not you, it's just.... I've been busy. Of course I'll come back..... from time to time. You understand.

The thing is, I'm not as emo as I was earlier this year haha, so I have less extreme emotions and conflicts that work to my sanctification, and as such, substantial posts that would serve to be an encouragement to any degree. Apart from that, blogging about what I read, while helping me be consistent has proven to double the time that it takes me to study a passage, sometimes more (because I'm more concerned about what I write on here and have to brainstorm and review more of what I want to share). Anyway, I did get a little behind in my reading, but be assured, this blog no longer reflects my reading patterns. I think, when I feel like it I will still post notes and thoughts on passages, it will work as a review. Like my unpublished post on Jude that i have yet to finish despite reading it weeks ago.

Well, I am dating now, and I've definitely been learning a lot. It's not easy but definitely a blessing and a means of sanctification, and I hope a means for God's glory. Well that's what it must be. I must say, as far as relationships go, I've never had one with a Christian, and its way way more awesome than I thought. What fellowship has light with darkness indeed. It's cool just how Christians have an eternal perspective, and as such know what is and isn't important. And Christians at just (or try to be) selfless and serving. What a blessing.

But again, thats not to say its easy, but thats what makes it sanctifying. Honestly, selflessness and serving aren't easy, I want to be selfish sometimes, and too often I am. Too often I'm prideful. I don't want my girlfriend to be the target of my mistakes, but that she is and will call me out on them is some of the best accountability to holy living that I've had.

She is very much awesome and I am very much blessed. (You'll get your own post soon, but that will take me awhile.)

Thats all = ]
