Sabbatical

So I took a sort of Sabbatical this week, working only 2 hours on Thurs and 2 more on Friday. During this Friday I decided to read as much as I could of Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ".

I don't know what it is. I'm not sure if it was just being immersed in a great work on Christ for hours.

I'm not sure if it was that the Lord is starting to show me the pride in my life through allowing me to see how corrupted my flesh really is.

I'm not sure if the world and media have just been beating at my heart inserting doubts of God's existence, constantly hearing the message that Christians are blindly following a myth.

I don't know what it is, but for some lovely reason the Lord has been showing Himself ever the more to me.

As some of you know a business which I have been laboring at for about a year has been extended/put on hold until January. This sorta devastated me more than it probably should have. I just felt like I was spinning my wheels if I wasn't moving forward. With a job at Compassion which is very tedious, manual, and very unchallenging. Living in a place where I have very few friends, and fewer that I can be real with. And living in a house where I rarely see my roommates.

I was beaten down. But I truly believe the Lord of the UNIVERSE gave me this time as an opportunity. I really want to use this time as a pilgrimage, trying to learn more about God. Meditating on Him trying to get my head knowledge into a heart knowledge.

I am finishing up Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ" soon, and I'm trying to decide what book to read next. Any suggestions?

You may have already read these, but I think you would probably really enjoy Crazy Love and Forgotten God both by Francis Chan.
