Sabbath Lesson for me #7

I went to Berean SDA Church today. Pastor Carlton (Buddy) Byrd who is now the senior pastor spoke. It was good. I took away from the sermon how I may have failed some people who have entered and left my life. As a Christian I am to be a light in darkness. Not a flicker but a strong lasting light continually in communion with God. I feel sometimes I have become dim and in a sense compromised on what I believe. I must ask for forgiveness from those that I have done this with. They suspected that I was different and I was nothing but. Father forgive me for not reflecting your glory to led others to You.

I closed on my first home day. It was an interesting day. I started it by going for a short run and then I walked by the house to sit and look at it to make sure I wanted to buy. I could still back out and only loose $1000 compared to what I am going to pay for the house. I felt good about it and then left for the closing at 11:30 this morning. My mom came with me and she was a means of support and questions. I was thankful to have her. A few glitches came up but they were smoothed out thankfully. So by 1:30 I was the proud owner of this beautiful Victorian style house in the historic West End. I am thankful to God. This is what I wanted a house in the west end that did not require a tremendous amount of work, was affordable and a place I would be proud to call my own. I am excited about the many friends that I will get to share my home with and being apart of such a great community!
