God has been teaching me a lot over just my first few weeks here. I have come to realize that i cannot find my Identity and who i am in anyone else but Jesus Christ. Often times I believe we as humans often look to other people or things to find their identity and who we are as people. As a Christian I should not be looking to other people to find out who I am.
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
~2 Corinthians 5:14-21~
I have been doing a study on 2 Corinthians sooo if i make more references deal with me I have been meditating on it alot as of lately, sooo back on Track, We are all dead and In Christ we have life so I should live for him. And since I am in Christ I should also be his ambassador (v.20) and thats why i am here, to be obedient to Christ and try to be his ambassador in Ocean City, NJ and in turn God is teaching me to live for him. And To live in his Death, which brings forgiveness of Sins, and resurrection, which brings eternal life. God is Good and has blessed me with alot and continues to poor out his blessings on me and i am eternally greatful. (second 2 Corinthians reference, just think about this one)
'He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.'"
~2 Corinthians 9:8-9~

Awesome post Andy!
I love how God just suddenly makes stuff work for us, but only when we finally trust him to do so :)
Also, be excited about working at McDonald's, remember it's the little places and things like that where God does most of his work on us...shaping us into his Gold like he said He would... I know when I worked at Jewel, it was not a job I would want to have for the rest of my life, but I learned a LOT about myself and people, and I gained a ton of character...it's amazing how the smallest things can influence people...so try yourself, you'll see you can witness, even though it can't be directly to Jesus, you still can do it, God works in mysterious ways.
Take care boo
Andy...God just used you, for me. Thanks for listening to Him.
