The Magnificent One
God. The great and mighty one. Where would I be without Him. I'm about half finished with msn, qwest, and all these people who are giving me the run around about my DSL being down. My lack of updates lately is for this purpose alone. So much has been going on. My apartment is usually an indication of my life and this past weekend my apartment looked like 3, 4, & 5 year-olds were left home alone. Don't tell me God's not a God of order because when I clean my house, I feel like a new woman. Seriously.
This past week was filled with suprises. One, I found out my position, which was only a one year assignment, has been made permanent because of my excellence on the job. Now I say this not to gloat, but only to point out the fact that God is truly Jehovah Jireh. Provider. I will never put my trust in a reputable company but in God and Him alone. I also was made aware of an opportunity for promotion which would involve some traveling so I'll be prayerful concering that. I believe this will be the last company I work for as I will soon be working for myself.
More news...In the awesomeness of God, the youth ministry in which I am a leader Relentless doubled in number last week. I wish I could go back and be a teenager in this day when I believe God is truly moving tremendously in the youth. Sike. You couldn't pay me money to repeat high school. Seriously, no amount would do. But I thank God that I get to be a part of history in the making. Today during service we had an awesome time of just praising and magnifying the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It always amazes me how our culture can worship with passion and intensity everything but God. I even find myself deeply entrenched in the lives of celebrities, people I idolize, the internet; all these things I devote entirely too much time and money towards. Yet finding enough breath in my body to truly praise and honor with my lips the one who gives me life is way too much of a hassle at times. That's a shame. It's a shame that we've even become so civilized in our "organized Christianity" that we can show more reverence for a stupid play off game than God who loves us more than we can imagine. There's a song I've been playing all day called "Friend of God". It's on the CD "Cover the Earth" by Lakewood Live (I'd link it but I'm on dial up right and opening one more window just might kill my computer). The words are so powerful and so basic, based out of James 2:23 and Psalm 8:4...
Friend of God
Who am I that You are mindful of me?
That you hear me when I call
And is it true that You are thinking of me?
How You love me it's amazing
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend
God Almighty Lord of Glory
You have called me friend
I am so thankful that God calls me friend and that He loves us so much and relates to us out of his perfect love. It's a good cd if you like straight up praise and worship. Many more posts promised this week. Thanks to those who have linked me! Trust me, I never thought much of my humble little site. But thanks anyway! Blessings to whoever reads this and a prosperous week.
