No other way

So, it's been a while. 16 weeks, about 10,000 miles, at least 50 cups of coffee, and about 10 haircuts. Nevertheless God has been good! I apologize for leaving the blog hanging, but honestly I got to the point where writing felt like some sort of responsibility. However, I got a couple of comments and, they were accepting! All I can say is glory to God, who is my inspiration and confidence to do everything possible to move forward!

So, it's in the heat of the summer and I'm knee deep into the task at hand: graduating. East Lansing isn't as populated as usual but I feel like I'm passing up midterm week already! But that's all good, because I know there's a goal worth approaching and unless I put in some work, it won't be accomplished. The only way to walk across that stage and to get that piece of paper is to follow the instruction! Just like putting together a lampstand, desk or a chair, this college thing has its instruction manual: Go to class, and study!! There's no getting around certain things, when you want to gain a valuable experience and retain it all. Isn't that like our God. There is no possibility of getting around His order, statutes, commandments, and laws, while pleasing Him!

Every single individual ought to have the goal of obtaining eternal life. However, without the proper instruction and guidance into this goal it will never be comprehended. Unless the believer places his faith in Christ (the way, the truth and the life), all attempts to obtain any level of success amount to no value, because there's no glory for God! Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God, who is eternal life. Please don't place your confidence in things. Things, people, places, worldly accomplishments, etc., will all cease and have no lasting value. But if and only if we can believe God for His Word, we will possess ultimate joy!!

After traveling the world, I can honestly identify with the fact that there's NOTHING on this earth worth living for without the fellowship of Jesus. He is all in all! Taste and see that God is good for yourself, and trust me, you will not be dissatisfied. There is no other way, anyway!

Best,

Nick

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 11:6


Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
Psalm 73:25

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
St. John 3:5

Listen!!
