He Knew.

Wanna know something crazy?
We are NOT of this World.
We don't belong here
We are strangers to all that it has to offer us
All that is has to tempt us with
All that is has to lead jus astray, we are not of it.
We are only visiting.

Although God created this world and all of us in it, we do not belong to it
But to it's Creator.
And what's even crazier, He knew. He knows.
He knew everything that happened was going to happen
He knows that we are going to be ripped this way or the next.
He knew he was going to send His son to die...to DIE for us.
DIE FOR US.
Would you willingly give your life for another? Or for a group of people? A nation maybe?
How about the world?
For some reason, I highly doubt you said yes to any of those questions.
We're all selfish and we want to live our lives. We, as humans, can't think that selflessly.
I mean there are the select few who would, the brave ones who would.
But not for the whole human race.
God knew what He was doing, He knew it would change our lives and that we would glorify His name for saving us from our sins.
He is forgiving, and righteous.
There is no thing and no one like Him.

None like the Lord, Jesus Christ.
None.

"Create me in a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me..."
Psalm 51:10

Oh how time flies when you're blogging in Computer Science...

Well the week is slowly coming to a close. It's strange, how slow time may seem to go although when you look back on it, time flies.
I feel like I was hating the idea of going back to school just yesterday. Yet here we are, in our 6th week of school and I am loving it. Well, not so much the work, but everything I am learning is finally getting to my interest level.

Something that I've never really realized about myself until about this year is that I have absolutely no school spirit. None whatsoever. I don't have class spirit. As a matter of fact, I really regret buying our class shirt because I find it so lame. So many people think it's strange though, my not having school spirit. Whenever I don't wear the requesting attire each week for spirit day, people always nag me about it. But i honestly don't have any spirit at all. Is that bad?

I think it might just be that I'm dying to get out of high school period. Not that I'm dreading the experience, but I would just much rather get out of this picture-perfect town and have a fresh start somewhere new. I'm so anxious for that new adventure I'll have when I leave for college, which I know isn't for another 2 years or so, but I honestly can't wait. I'm so excited to be able to live life on my own and get that scary feeling where I actually MISS home...oh the day will come.

As for now, here I sit, in computer science. Finished with a project and on to the next.

One of these days I'm going to bust out my guitar and bring it to school and carry it around all day so I get the feeling of what years from now will feel like, doing the thing I love to do most all day long. Until then...

Here I sit,
sitting, waiting, wishing...
and praying.

Until next time...

His Mysterious Way.

There are many things that I hear people say about the Lord. One of which, I have recently learned...i wouldn't say the hard way. But it was rough enough for Him to have wholy stirred in me and changed me spiritually.
God moves mysteriously. He works in ways you wouldn't expect coming at all, whatsoever. But when his plans are bluntly slapped in front of your face, you start to realize why things went the way they did.
So many tend to ask God "Why?" when things don't go their way, or the way they intended. There's a saying that goes, "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans". It's crazy how true that statement is. We, as humans, always try to take control of our own lives. We always have, I think it's just a habit you pick up when you're super little. But what we don't understand fully is that we need to surrender our lives to the Lord, that way it saves us some disappointment when things don't go the way WE planned.
But sometimes, if not all times, when things turn out almost exactly opposite of what you had intended, it becomes a blessing in disguise. I've always loved that phrase only because so many things in this world as just that. But we miss so many of them because we are so blind to them.
God's ways are so beneficial. I have learned so much in the past four or five months that I feel like I've only been truely alive for that long. I've been so blind all these years, and even some of this summer. I couldn't see where He was leading me, but I didn't fully trust him either. It's hasn't been until recently that I've truely understood why God moves the way he does and how it's going to effect my life for the better.
But then again, when it comes to the Lord, my Savior, everything he does effects my life for the better. Always.

Another brand new week, although unfortunately its starting with sickness.
But this weekend was awesome. SO awesome. Wow. Anyways, I need rest for my 5:30 am wake up call in the morning for school...blahh.

Until next time...
