Even though I have walked with Christ for over 5 decades, was active in my college days and post college ministry, family, etc. I am now battling disc disease and “emotional post traumatic stress “, due to numerous surgeries/recoveries over the last 15 years, and having ignored my emotional needs in my early years of ministry in college, because I have the foundation/training/being discipled in college, I am still persevering, meeting one on one with two other guys. Though things are difficult health wise, God is using what I learned so long ago, to help me not just to “survive”, but thrive and go forward. One of the guys I meet with, and not to my credit, said to me recently, knowing me well, said, “I really admire your continuing in the faith, and continuing to walk with Him, live in the Word and in prayer, I am heartened by how you are doing in this health struggle, with “chronic pain”,etc” That greatly encouraged me. I never talk about my personal discipline and looking to Him to get me through each day, but it means a lot when He is my strength and protection, Psa.71:7-8
I love reading my Bible everyday and always ask God for more teaching and getting closer to my father God is good to me and I pray everyday thank you Father for wisdom and life.
