Random

Yikes! It has sure been a while since I last wrote in here. I'm a terrible blogger. Ahhh well.

I'm going to update this thing fast, and then probably update more later. I forgot my journal, and I'm sitting here in a Starbucks before class is about to start, and I'm making myself quit support-raising stuff for a little bit right now and think about other things...

This summer has been quite challenging. As I've been raising support to intern at MSU this coming fall, it has definitely had its rollercoaster moments... it's funny how one moment during this process I can feel really awesome, and then the next, I can feel completely overwhelmed, like everything is out of control.

But something I came across today was this:

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. -Colossians 1:16-17

I encourage anyone who might stumble across this to read Colossians 1, all the way through. It's awesome. Actually the whole book of Colossians is awesome. But, I was especially encouraged by the first chapter today.

My God holds everything together. It's the bottom line. It's simple, but it's true, and I need to believe it and apply it to every aspect of my life. I need to apply it to the truth that the Lord says is true about me. The lies I listen to are lame. I need to apply it to what God says is true of Himself, and the Love He has for me.

I could go on...

Anyways. This is random. Just needed to write down my thoughts, because I didn't have anything else.

I've gotta run to spanish now. Only two more classes of my undergraduate career, ever... yesss.

Peace.

You're right. Colossians 1 is awesome. God will always hold everything together because everything is for Him...hard to comprehend but so awesome when we can get a glimpse of it. Love that the Lord is never going to lose...He is always winning and things always work for His good.
