finally

after months of searching, I've finally ordered a 40D. pictures to come

life at church

I'm here at GMC quite a bit. It's nice to come here and know that someone's always here. Our pastoral staff is awesome. They work so hard and give so much of themselves for the church. We really should have a fulltime nurse on staff because it seems like some of the staff here never sleep, and I can only imagine what that does to the body.

Leaving Fountain of Life Mission Church was very painful for me, but my parents always told me God would make things right. I've grown to know that, truly, God does always make things right. I'm so blessed to have God place me in such a wonderful church. There is still so much for me to learn and I think I'm in a good place to do so.

I'm here now, wishing one of the pastors would take a break to play pingpong with me! But otherwise, I'll be preparing for tonight's worship and Sunday's sermon. This Sunday will be the finale of the Noah sermon series (I've been taking my kids through the book of Genesis), and I'm so excited! Genesis 9 takes us through God's covenant with Noah and the whole earth, symbolized by the rainbow. It is so amazing to look upon a rainbow and know that at that instant, God is remembering his promise with his precious creation. Thank you Lord for loving us.

I'll probably talk about this more in the future, but when you compare every other religion and deity of the Ancient Near East, none of them were like our God. None of them sought relationship with us; none would ever even think about making covenants with us, but our God..

Truly, David shared this sentiment in Psalm 8:

"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens...When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?..."

And Hannah once prayed (1 Samuel 2:2:

"There is none holy like the Lord; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God."

There is none like our God. He does not have to do what He does for us, yet He does, and He does so with Love.

here we go again

I thought I'd start this thing up again. I was really into blogging in college but for some reason stopped as I approached graduation. I suppose I ran out of things to say, or I lost my muse. It's now been about 3 or 4 years since my last entry, and now I feel like i have so many things to say. To whom? I have no idea. In any case, I'm glad you've found yourself here.

btw, I'm so sick of facebook! I think i might just convert that thing to Angel's facebook. She lives a very interesting life.

So, here we go.
