Hi ;-1

“How are you?  How have you been?  How have things been going at church… at home;-?

The other day, when I saw you, and you ’saw’ me…you didn’t say anything to me..and I didn’t try to either. Just know that in my heart I did.   But it’s ok.. I think I understand why you didn’t say anything. I just hope it is helping, that you are well, and getting better Spiritually.  Coz that’s what matters most, your relationship with Christ…it affects everything else.

Whatever reason you didn’t come to fellowship this week… It’s fine.. I mean, it’s not, but if it’s truly necessary then I’m glad you didn’t offer a hypocritical sacrifice of praise to God.  Whatever has been going through your head, I don’t understand, and won’t claim to…all I know is God does, and He feels for you very much.  Put a hand over your heart, and feel it beat.  Feel the heartbeat, the rhythm of the life of Christ that beats inside of you.  Feel His heart…His heart for you.

We had quite a journey in 2005..and 2006 seems to be an even more significant year.  A lot of big thing’s are gonna be happening…I mean, Passion06 already happened and I really wished you could have been there to experience the lifesong of 18,000 students uniting together in one voice lifting up the one name worthy of our lives.  And then there’s CC’06…and Urbana06… And graduating, moving on, growing up, growing old.

Time is passing by, and every second that passes by, I remember all that our LORD has blessed us with in the past–blessings, good and bad, but still gifts of grace–and I am thankful.  Much big things will happen and be accomplished this year, and I prayer is that you my friend would be able to share with me & God in this journey.  There’s so much that God’s said to me lately that I wanna share with you…I just hope you know that, you can still say anything to me.

I’m always here…but the time is coming when I can no longer in that capacity that I have been.  It kinda means I’ll be bending my promise to God. Sacrifices have to be made, I’ll hafta give up a lot of things to go where God desires me to go in this life of mine; and I just beg Him that this does not include our friendship.

As always, for always, through Christ,
-Alex”
