Yesterday i went to River of Life church. it was actually really good. I enjoyed it. It's so good to be in agreement with so many other people praising God. I had an interesting realization while worshiping though. It was a nice one. I was thinking how nice it is that even though River of Life is not MY church that they still all worship the same God i do. Looking around and seeing all these people i didn't know worshiping MY God who i do know. So that was nice. It was kinda funny though seeing that every church i guess has their own way of worshiping. Even further every person does. I like to sign when i worship and alot of people at River of Life like to clap...to every song...even if they are clapping on the off beat when everyone else is clapping on the on beat. Or when they are clapping WAY to fast of a tempo and mess up the whole worship team becuase they are clapping the wrong rhythm. Basically i'm saying i could do without the clapping : ) haha but the rest was good . I think i'm going to ask if i can help out in Girls Ministries wednesday too so that should be fun.
I had an interesting though during worship though. We were singing "Your grace is enough" and i was thinking
1) is God's grace really enough for us and
2) what does grace even really mean??
well after talking with Bryce and google search we decided that God's grace is kinda a pleura of things but mainly his mercy. It also includes his love and kindness and favor to us, kinda just like a cover all. So then that leads me back to my first question: is it enough for me? I think it is. I mean i guess if i think his love and kindness is enough for me then i should be happy just at the thought i'm alive and that he DOES love me and that i have a chance to live in eternity with him. That may or may not exclude his power and miraculous workings but for me just knowing i can be saved by his grace is quite enough for me. Is it enough for you?
Changing gears now, i took out the trash today...again. It was so lame becuase i took it out last time and then i don't know who it was but when it was full they took the trash out of the can and set it right next to it. and i don't know if you're aware but when garbage just sits there it smells...pretty awfully. So it was making our whole house smell and when michael walked in and said it smelled i realized it was quite time to take it out. So i gave in and quite being stubborn and took it all out. I also was getting annoyed at how dirty the floor was so i mopped it. I now realize how as a mom things like that just grade on you when no one else will do it. it's like, "really? am i the only one that is bothered by it?" I love you mom, ha and i'm sorry for not taking more of an initiative.
Oh yeah and i took a patho quiz today...haha i got 8/20...ouch...i couldn't even believe it. I didn't think i had done THAT bad. guess i was wrong. I was kinda upset about it. but oh well. nothing i can do about it now just work harder on the next ones.
Well i think it is nap time for sure right now. So long : )
so this is actually dad. I didn't want to create my own account.
ReplyDeleteWhen everything is taken away, you realize that It can still be "well with my soul", because his grace is enough. Everything on this earth will fade away as a vapor,all the earthly things we spend so much time striving for will be gone. Only what we have found in him through his grace will remain, and it will be enough-all we need for an eternity with him.
love you. Glad to see you are getting an education in roomates and housekeeping. It isn't fun feeling like you are someones maid.:) that was my first typo-smiley face thing.
