It has been a while . . .
Hi everyone who is still looking at my blog. It has been a long time since I have last written anything on the blog! I am doing well. One of the things that I have noticed is that school hasn’t changed, but I am getting more used to being a student. And I was happy with how my first test went. As I think about it that was a long time ago. I think I need to do a bit better of a job keeping my blog up to date.
After I went through around two years of treatment, I wrote a list of things that I have learned. And I think I am going to post them on this blog:
1. God will never leave me/us.
2. When we keep our eyes on God, God’s power will help us accomplish more than we can even think possible.
3. It is important to love yourself as God loves you.
4. It is important to spend time with others/to love them as God loves us.
5. Doctors are important, but God is more important.
6. Even sick people have a meaning on Earth.
7. It is important to find joy when you are sick.
8. Prayer is a powerful connection we have with God.
9. My story has affected more people than only me. And I want to take this time to hear how it has positively affected you. (Don’t forget this Nathan)
And I have not stopped writing what I am currently learning as well. This is what I have learned since the end of the 2006 summer:
1. God’s Holy Spirit is involved in our lives and can protect us from all evil.
2. The true complement of a sermon is not “that was a good sermon;” but rather a person’s actions of following the sermon.
3. Today (11/5/06) during the sermon at East Goshen, it became relevant to me that “Death is only a fear we have between the present and the future.”
Well, as I said, everything is going well for me. I enjoy the church I go to, am feeling better about being a student again and feeling great. I also really enjoy my internship with LaCasa. Most of my internship involves working with different neighborhood associations in Goshen, working with low income clients, running children’s activities at Arbor Ridge (LaCasa rental unit), and doing lots of small jobs as well.
Even though I have been done with treatment for a little while now, I still see God at work in my life and people’s lives around me. And I hope you do as well. I am going to end this Blog with a statement that was given to me on a pillow from Maria Davis.
Prayer Changes Everything,
Nathan
