2 Timothy

I haven't blogged in a while, and I never did a follow-up to my 1 Timothy Blog.  So in a nutshell...I'm going to sum up my thoughts.  Paul is Awesome!  I long for a relationship with a mentor like Timothy had with Paul, and the wisdom that Paul gives in this letter cuts to my heart. 

In the first chapter, Paul writes in Chapter 1 verses 11-12, "I was chosen to tell that Good News and to be an apostle and a teacher. I am suffering now because I tell the Good News, but I am not ashamed because I know Jesus, the One whom I believe..."

I can't believe God has chosen me to spread his Word.  Before I breathed my first breath, God chose to use me to further his Kingdom, and that responsibility is more than I can fathom.  As I move to Charleston, and live purposively in a specific apartment complex--I know that God will protect me.  I am in awe that how God cares for his people.  God cares for the people in this apartment complex so much, that he placed a burden on the hearts of not only me and my future husband, but of many other believers too.

I write this in reflection of re-reading 2 Timothy today.  I long to live out God's word, not just to say it.  I long to be a disciple and teacher of God's word, and I am so excited that God has chosen Michael and me to carry out his work as a team.
