"Farts Smell"- My roomate Brian Stoller

"Books, books everywhere but nothing to read" also by Brian

I love this passage from Paul the church in Thessalonica. How is your faith? tell me.

1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13 (New International Version)

Paul's Longing to See the Thessalonians

¹⁷But, brothers, when we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you. ¹⁸For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan stopped us. ¹⁹For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? ²⁰Indeed, you are our glory and joy.

1 Thessalonians 3

¹So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens. ²We sent Timothy, who is our brother and God's fellow worker^[a]in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, ³so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were destined for them. ⁴In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know. ⁵For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent Timothy to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter might have tempted you and our efforts might have been useless.

Timothy's Encouraging Report

⁶But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you. ⁷Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. ⁸For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. ⁹How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? ¹⁰Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.

¹¹Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. ¹²May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. ¹³May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

Guys, I need wisdom. Pray for wisdom. I think it is in James 1 that it says if any of you lacks wisdom let him pray. I think it's there. I am too tired to look it up. Please pray that I might have more wisdom. Pray that I can be a light to His people and a window to God's plan for their lives. Please pray earestly. what can I pray about??? let me know

In His hands,

when was the last time something took your breath away? was it good or bad? happiness or saddness? tell me. I want to know. I heard something said once, "life is not measured by how many breaths we take but by how many times something takes our breath." I like that quote. tell me a good story. I love to read

so much can happen in the blink of an eye. That is what I learned this week. My heart has many questions inside and my head can't stop trying to find the answers.........Have you ever had a door shut in your face -so to speak- only to have an even bigger door open to the same place? Ever poured your heart into someones life only to have it all seemingly waited? My heart ache right now with questions that echo in the depths of my soul. I long to know God's specific purposes for my life. Not just what he wants me to do but who I am to be with aswell. too often I wonder about that story of the little with the glass ball with the little string hanging out of it. This is no ordinary ball of yarn but it is a time machine. No it can't travel backwards in time but it can be useful to skip tests and uncomfortable things in life. The moral of the story turns out to be that this little boy skips his entire life by pulling this silly string inch by inch. How I long to know what I am to be doing in the future. I want to know where I am and what I'm doing. I mean, anything can happen in the blink of an eye; right? when life brings me questions i have to go to God. He alone knows the answers to the questions of my heart. I know that all will be revieled in His time. I know that His will is good pleasing and perfect. I want a peice of that right now. Maybe I am getting a peice of that and I just don't see it. I mean the grass is always greener on the other side, right? I don't know. My heart is confused by I will seek His face and maybe my heart can see in the light of His Grace. sleep well and I pray that you will dream about His Glory tonight while you sleep and tomorrow as you encounter the people He created.

so, I just watched an incredible movie tonight. I love movies that make me think. Let's just face it.... i love to think. I Love the Movie Coach Carter. I believe that the question "what is your Greatest fear?" is a question that must be answered before we can truly develope into who we admire, who we say we want to be, and mostly who we were created to be and who we can be like. This movie touches my heart in so many ways and I can't understand the cry in my heart for these people who aren't even real. Or are they? I want so badly to find people like those people. I was reminded today why i want so badly to go to a place like chicago and bring hope. I want to bring light into people's lives that have settled for what they have been taught and not striving for what they can get, showing them that there is so much more to life than what you can see in the darkness. I hope and pray that God will use me as a vessel to spreak his good news about a living hope into this place. I am now left with only one question this evening... what is my greatest fear? I don't like to think of questions like that but i know it needs an answer. I think this right here is my greatest fear. That what i want to be will never happen. Who i want to be for others will only be a dream, something to make a fairy tail out of. My biggest fear is that because i am me, i cannot be totally his. i know that i have to leave it up to Him but I wonder so much if I can over come me. tonight my prayer is that I will become less and He will become more. I pray that God will equip me to do His work. I don't want to leave hear discouraged but looking, no, straining for what is to come. I know in my head that God will use me and my heart yearns for it to happen soon. But whether it is my heart or mind, something is yet to be convinced. Maybe they take turns, I don't know.

I know I have to get my hands busy doing His labot. That is the problem. I have been so long without true service rooted deeply in my life. Yes, I remember now that He showed me that this summer at CIY. With the nail scarred hands, he served me. He lived His life in a way that showed sacrificial love. His hands were always busy doing His Father's work, breaking bread, healing the leapers, and even dying on a cross. What have my hands been doing? I haven't gotten blisters. I have hugged an elderly person. I haven't even given up the best place at the table or given some one else the bigger of the two peices of pizza. And my hands definetly have not been scarred for my Father's work.

I can't wait to pick up my app for the Bridge. I know that is where I can learn more about God's love. I know God want me to experience Him there. I pray tonight that God will lead someone there who needs Him and that I will be there to lead them that way. I want my service to be deep so that my capacity to love His people can grow.

Grace. I simply need to see His grace. I pray that I will see his grace and be thankful today. I will look for that grace. Show me what you want for me today my Lord.

your servant,

david roy
