Can you believe it's Commencement Day? What a journey it has been this year at the School of Public Health - grateful for the fellowship with believers at our school and the SOM/SON and Homewood campus, and most of all for the Lord walking closely with us at every step. Praise the Lord! And congratulations to all those who graduate today :)
For those of you making decisions (...all of us), one common question is "what is God's will for me? to what is he calling me?" Paul writes in Rom 12: Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will. (vv1-2) Dear ones, as you seek direction, I pray that you seek the Lord first and foremost - acknowledging his mercy, sacrificing your "self", renewing your mind, letting him transform you... as we give up living for ourselves and instead living for God, we trust that he will complete what he has started in each of us. May our likeness to Christ - in the way we live and work and speak in the world - grow more and more each day.
No official PHCF Wed lunch meeting tomorrow, but W3011 will be open if anyone needs a quiet place to pray!
Finally, for those who are staying at JHSPH/in Baltimore after May, we need new student leaders - please pray! and email jhsph.phcf@gmail.com if you're interested in seeing what role you can play in this group.
