Start off by thinking this thought for me: How Great Is Our God!
Its been a long time since I have gotten on this thing. I guess the business of school has gotten the best of me. I am trying to think of what has happened since the inFamous Gold Fish Incident. Well, I have had a lot of papers and exams. All in all, I feel that I am doing good. Granted, at times I am overwhelmed but everyday, God provides enough grace to get me through and that is such a blessing!
How could I forget this...a few weeks ago, I watched the movie "Courageous." What a fantastic movie. I would add the trailer here but I am already planning on sharing a different clip that I have fallen in love with (that will come later in the post). Courageous is fantastic, if you havent seen it, I would highly encourage you all to go watch it. Watch by yourself, or with some close friends, your spouse, whoever. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will be challenged. Especially us men. Some say it only applies to the married men with kids but I would highly disagree. What a huge calling it was for all men to be leaders. To be in love with the Lord and with the word. A theme verse this year for me has been 1st Cor. 16:13-14 (fits in perfectly with the movie) "Be on your guard, stand firm, be men of courage, be strong. Do everything in love."
What a high calling that verse is! I have also been challenged with a thought I heard on the radio the other day. The thought goes like this: "What if you wake up tomorrow morning and all you have is what you thanked God for." Just think on that, digest that quote. Do we thank God for the amazing blessings he has given us, and I mean AMAZING BLESSINGS. Like a roof, a computer, money in your wallet (or a plastic thing that substitutes for money), a job, a car, a family that loves you!
Yesterday, I had an interview with a school in West Lafayette for student teaching. It lasted over an hour and it was pretty intense. I am anxiously waiting to here back from them, hoping I am good enough for their program.
And now, Id like to share a video and some verses.
Last Friday, the PYG had our talent show, which we call Glory Night. It was a lot of fun with some good laughs. Maybe some videos will come later on. Maybe.
Here is what I really wanted to share in this post:
The other night I was drying home from Purdue. I was alone and it was just me and God (and some Adventures in Odyssey). That night, I drove and for a majority of the trip, there was an amazingly beautiful sunset. The verse of Psalm 19:1 kept running through my head. "The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
I hope you will take the time to watch this. It is more than powerful.
This video shows how amazing our God is. Another verse is Psalm 148:3-5 "Praise him sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens...let them praise the name of the Lord."
Have a great week and remember how great our God is!
