Dirt Poor...
Wow, I have no money!
Ok, so I'm over it and God is amazing. "Why?" is He amazing you ask? Probably because I have begun to see Him in a different light over the past few months. I have discovered a God who honestly and really cares about what I am going through. Sure, I have always complain to Him when I was hurting and would grovel before Him when I messed up, but I would always talk toward the sky not really knowing what I was talking to. I have had awesome classes in Genesis/Exodus, Hebrews, and the Corinthian letters. Brother Gilmore and brother Lipe have shown me that the Bible is more than a book of rules and regs, it's a way God shows me that I can be so much better than I am now. The Hebrew writer shows me that Christ can honestly say to me "I've been there, you can make it!" and "You ARE worth all the suffering I endured." Christ could have made the decision in the garden that he didn't want us, but he didn't do that.
Just the other day I saw God at work (and I love it when that happens!).
My roommate had split up from a relationship he had with his girlfriend for over 1 1/2 years. I caught him wondering aimlessly through the commons not knowing what to do. I took Him out for ice cream and he explained his distrust in relationships. First his parents divorce and now his own relationship was in jeopardy. He had initially talked to her over AIM (big mistake), so I encouraged him to take time now to talk to her face to face, or atleast over the phone. He did so, but it didn't seem to have an effect. He spent the night on his face in prayer. Only 24 hours went by before his girlfriend called me up looking for him. Justin later came to me and said, "Potter, God is amazing. Through this he has revitalized my relationship with Jennifer." In the short break they had, they experienced life without each other, and it was very foreign to them. In the same way, it can be like that with God! Just today, I heard the quote in class, "The degree that one remembers the covenant of God, reflects the degree that one remains faithful to God" After all, thats why God's covenant always requires an act. Circumcision, rainbows, and baptism all reflect signs of God's covenants. Do you take time to appreciate God's covenant everyday? I pray God will continue to fill me with joy and endurance to serve his will! Thank you Father...
