Week 5: Character Formation

How is God working on your character now? What does God do during seasons of pruning and how have you seen this in your life? What is God teaching you about meekness and how do you feel led to walk this out? Who are you planing to serve?

I will answer the last question first as I the questions are much deeper than I originally thought. I plan to serve the local community during Blitz week. Tonight, I will volunteer at the Carpenters family shelter. It really puts things in perspective and when you show up you see how happy especially the children that you came to spend some time with them. Also, Saturday I plan to help clean up a local park. I will be back later to finish out the question. The park cleanup was no walk in the park. The grounds had been used as a dumping ground for years. We cleaned what you could see with the naked eye cleaning up beer bottles and can. Then we went deep into the woods and in two hours pulled out over 100 tires, two fridges, mattresses and a motorcycle. It was tough, but hopefully this was the start in cleaning up the park.

The last year has been great. God has been working on me and slowly my character is growing as my faith grows. Spirtual formation has been one of many steps like serving. I really enjoy serving. For one I am not angry as much as I use to be. I don't hold on to things like I once would hold on to things. The small things I realize are small things. Let's move on as better things await me. Go God!

I feel I need to think the meekness question out better. I will be back.
