| ever have those times where you just realize how big God is and how small you are? and with that, how much you suck? aaand that was my spring break. not that it wasn't good... it was really good actually. i got to chill with my boys most of the week which was awesome because i flippin miss those guys, and me and linds skipped service at church and got to talk which was soooooo good.... that girl's like water to my soul. not gonna lie leaving kinda hurt. i found myself on my knees in the church parking lot, in the rain, in the cold, in the dark, and as much as i wanted to be sad about leaving right then all i could do was praise the Lord for my church and for the people there... God has used that place in my life so much its ridiculous, and all i can do is thank Him. i got to drive back up here with my miss lindsey philips which was awesome because she's one of my most favorite people in the world, and i went straight and saw my cru kids which made me really happy cuz i really missed them last week. the past two days have been a little weird... i'm just sort of off right now... ever have that where everything is going so good that you almost start to take God for granted and you start coasting and you don't even realize it? story of my life right now... except for now i have noticed it, and it sucks. and its cold here. that sucks too. hmm not too much to update... just that i'm human and i'm painfully aware of that right now. oh and i was freaking out about funds for india cuz i realized how behind i was, and today i got a thing in the mail from AIM and 5 people sent in a total of $595 in the past week. how good is our God? that means with that added to what i had already i'm just about halfway there with my funds and its all by God's power, because i have SUCKED at preparing for my trip. funny how the Lord shows us how small we are before He does big things through us isn't it? love yall, call me and tell me how you're doing cuz i miss you. | | |
| its seriously retarded how fast i forget how sovereign the Lord is. like here i am worrying about normal everyday things because i think if i'm not concerned about them they won't get taken care of and the Lord blows me away. so we drove back to norman today and if any of yall have looked at the weather chanel you know its snowing and that the highways are iced over, so i was sorta scared of driving in that... one of my best friends got in a wreck last night so that kinda made me even a bit more freaked out... not to mention i was driving two other people so if i did screw up and get us in a wreck it wouldn't just be me who could get hurt. well anyways we go to pick up lindsey in lake highlands and my car had already lost traction once on a bridge on the way there and as soon as we get there my windsheild wiper falls apart. so while her dad is fixing it, i'm just praying as hard as i can in my head that if we aren't supposed to drive back that he can't get it back together. well, he does and we start on our way... and guess who pulls in front of us? the sand truck. you know the one that puts all the stuff down so you don't slip on ice. who stays in front of us for the next few miles (where there are like 8,000 bridges) and then pulls off as soon as we're back on flat roads? the sand truck. mr. sandman if you will. how good is our God with His perfect timing? and if He even takes care of sand trucks, who am i to doubt that He won't handle everything else with perfect timing? sheesh, i should have so much more faith. anyways, God is good all the time, and i love yall... i'm coming home again next weekend and i better get some quality time in with you kids cuz i was sad i didn't get to see you guys much this weekend. sorry i've sucked this semester at keeping in touch. (and happy birthday amanda and russell!) | | |
| "I will praise You oh Lord my God with all of my heart, I will glorify Your name forever..." that song's been stuck in my head all day... and i almost missed it because i keep letting myself get so distracted with the clutter this world brings. I hadn't noticed how much i worried about what people think. Ya, I know that one of my favorite things is making people happy, but I hadn't realized that so much of my joy rested upon that. I guess things are just more comfortable when everybody likes you... until you realize how hollow that is. I'm figuring out that i can't let the passion that the Lord's given me for people overshadow my purpose of glorifying Him. So moral of the story: I love people, but I love God more and I got a huge priority check today.
All of life comes down to just one thing
And thats to know You oh Jesus
And make You known... | | |
