Keeping it real

I have not been keeping up with my journal but now I have no excuse because it is actually a requirement of my class. Lucky for me that I am not being held accountable for this unless I request to be by my men's group. I will be putting in my memory verses, prayer, praises, and thanksgivings to God but the devotions, meditation, quite time in the word and confessions will be only for God and not shared. I have been going to school with tons of homework, reading and memory verses. I have a new friend who is handicap and I have been helping him get to his doctors and in November he will be starting therapy for his new prosthetic leg. I will be helping him to learn to walk if possible I will pray. He is 6'-3" and I am 5'-7" this is going to be quite a challenge. Pushing him in his wheel chair is easy but when he stands up he dwarfs me. I will also be joining a prison ministry at a California State Prison. Mostly bible study in the prison yards with fellowship and support. My music ministry has been blessed by God with many new worship songs that I am working on. My favorite that I have written or should I say God has given me is called "I Am Broken".In my TopGun class which is a class designed to build leadership and transformation. There is a lot of memory verses from the bible. I thought this would be very difficult for me because in the past I have always found it hard to retain memorized verses but God has blessed me here as well. I am only up to 3 verses so far but I have been able to retain them with out that much work. (II Peter 3:18, Psalm 42:1-2, and Phillipians 4:6-7).My home life is still filled with a constant cloud of hate and occasional drama. My brother whom I live with is still baring false witness against me and I am having my family and church pray for him and his wife (Jeffery & Debbie). I pray that God will deliver me from this place but I have only just started petitioning my needs and requests to God and my fellow Christians with in my Church Community. That pretty much covers where I am at generally and I ask your forgiveness for my lack of  availability to friends and others here at DS. I must get some rest now so God bless and good night or "Rather grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, To him be glory both now and forever, Amen! (II Peter 3:18)
