My February Blog Project ~ February 7th ~ 7 Steps

Today I was blessed with the opportunity to hear my college pastor, Pastor Schettler, preach.  

The Lord gave him a message about handling disappointments.  I love that Pastor Schettler can deliver the reality of "You are going to be disappointed in 2016" and then take us to a fork-in-the-road where Path #1 is what will happen if you do NOT handle the disappointment according to God's Word...and the other fork in the road - Path #2 - is handling the disappointment Biblically.  

Before I even had learned that Pastor Schettler was going to be in town, I had been contemplating two of his college chapel messages.  One was about Isaac and his men digging wells and how the enemy would come and takeover the wells and Isaac told his men, "Dig another well."  {This whole dig-the-well and then moving on to dig another well went on time-and-time again.}  I've been doing some well-digging since the first of the year. 

The second message I've been thinking about was Pastor Schettler's "Seven Steps to Perfect Dating."  And actually I've only been thinking about 1 of the 7 steps...."How you get them is how you keep them."  How you act to catch his / her attention is what you will have to do to keep them.  It's so true.  I could list example after example.  I won't.  

Today's the 6th day of February and my thankful for being single "thing" for today is...I'm thankful the Lord lead me to Pensacola Christian College at the exact point in time when I would be under the preaching for Pastor Jim Schettler.  I'm thankful for the time and energy and diligence he put in to studying God's Word and preaching truth to me and the entire student body.  

I'm thankful the Lord brings these truths to my mind from time to time.  It's up to me to listen to His still, small voice and act accordingly.
