A letter from Aug 17, 2024

Dear FutureMe, Yet another year has passed. Praise God for His mercy that I’m still alive to be sanctified for His will. My life has been dramatically changed since the last letter. Actually, the day that I sent 2023’s letter was the day that I was saved from God’s righteous judgment on my soul. I was saved by the blood of the lamb from Yahweh’s wrath- that which I deserve. I’m a chief of sinners, as Paul says, and my drinking and pornography addiction earlier in my life has left scars that only the Lord can heal- and He has healed them for the most part. I’m in no way above falling back into these things though, especially since the prince of the air takes advantage of contentness in one’s faith walk. I’m constantly reminded of my desperate need for Jesus, my Savior, and it has been by His steadfast love and never-ending grace that I’ve escaped the slavery to my flesh, to Satan, and to this world. Hallelujah man. This past Summer, the Lord called me into pastoral ministry, and I also switched my major from Engineering to BBA Management. I stayed on campus all Summer and really built up relationships and strong bonds with brothers and sisters who were also here. I’ve read at least 4 books so far this year, and my trust in the Lord has grown immensely, regarding a wife and my future livelihood. I still have a desire in my heart for קאָרס, but we’ll see what the Lord has. Finally went to New York City last week, and that was absolutely incredible. Also very disheartening to see the lostness up north. I’m also a pastoral intern at Summit Church, so I’m wondering what the Lord has for me regarding growth/revelation with that. Anyway, let me not ramble on. The Lord has released me from lust this Summer, but I’m dealing with anger/selfishness, and pride right now. Lord willing I’m still being roughened in the fire when I read this letter. My favorite theologian is Paul Washer. Anyway byeee!! ❤️
