Learning About the Holy Spirit...

over the last month or two, God seems to be leading me in a journey to understand the Holy Spirit in a deeper way.

i have been reading and discussing francis chan's book Forgotten God with one of our students...it is stretching and growing me in some great ways. but in addition to that, it seems that everywhere i turn there are experiences that teaching me as well.

today was one of those days...

i met with one of our biggest campus house supporters to tell him about some incredibly exciting things that are on the horizon for our ministry...and to specifically ask him if he would help financially support a major part of the endeavor. however, it turns out there were a number of factors that i hadn't anticipated. as a result, i was not able to ask for his support.

normally, this might be something that i would just reschedule and plan to do in another day or two. but as i have been thinking more about the Spirit, it has caused me to seek to listen to the Spirit about what He may desire for me to do in this situation instead of what i had initially planned.

it is something that i by no means have all figured out, but i am learning that listening to the Spirit opens up all kinds of deeper possibilities. and while it is much less defined, it does certainly seem like the way to go.
