He Still is..

Just a few days ago I proclaimed the goodness of God to me.

That was before I found out a relative had cancer.

That was before I found myself climbing a spiritual mountain like never before.

And honestly I wavered wondering; why these trials were coming. I could not let myself wonder for long, because I knew in my heart I was still serving a God who is...

in control
good
loving
caring...

and I have to say it again a God who is very good.

1 To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, in You I trust,
Psalm 25:1-2

Because He is Good


God is good when I'm...
when I feel all alone
when I feel terrible
when I can't understand school
when life seems like too much
God is good because...
My mom is my best friend
the amazing friends I have here at school to encourage me
classes that teach and prick your heart
Thanksgiving is only 9 weeks away
I'm only9 weeks away from being an aunt for the 21nd time.

John 1:16

16For of His A)">(A)fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.

The Day I Didn't Go to Church

The day I flew to school for my Junior year, I could not go to church. I was ridding in a airplane and not sitting in a church pew. I have to say it was one of the most special worship experinces I have ever had.

Seeing God's creation from the vantage point of 30,000 feet is an experience I will not soon forget. I was not with the body of Christ that Sunday, but I was sitting next to the mission field.

To say there is not a God who could bring me safely back to the ground.
To say there is not a God who could create this beauty...
...is ludicrous.
