College is very different. I’ve only been here for about 2 weeks and already I am finding out more and more about myself. I am a very selfish person. I want what I want without regard for what others may need. I’m also very hardened. I am so bitter towards church that I find all the faults without taking time to see any of the great things God is doing there. I am so very very lost. I didn’t feel very good last night so I was up pretty late with my iPod plugged into my ears. I turned on my worship playlist just to try and refocus myself. The song “Awesome is the Lord Most High” came on. It’s been a while since God was really awesome to me. The word awesome literally means to stand in awe of. So often I find myself looking at God as a convenient conversation topic or an understood personal belief, but awe was never there. I have missed God. He’s the Creator of the universe and of the smallest drop of dew. He brings life to the tallest tree and the smallest blade of grass. He is the hope of the most secure Christian and of the most lost renegade. He is GOD. He is AWESOME.
Psalm 66:5 (The Message)
Take a good look at God's wonder-- they'll take your breath away
About Me
- Jess
- I think my friend said it best when he said, "I am just me, no more no less. I try my best and at the end of the day I am a true butthead." That pretty much sums it up. I am a messed up and sinful human being that has been gloriusly ruined my Christ. I remember when I fell passionately in love with Jesus Christ. It was the summer before my freshman year of high school. It was at that moment that Jesus ruined my life. He ruined my easy mark off the check list of rules Christianity. He ruined my dull boring way of looking at the Bible. He ruined my priorities. He ruined my “blissful” ignorance. He ruined my goal of being liked by everyone. He made me encounter the dangerous wonder of following Him and ruined my entire view of God. He ruined the way I see the pain in my life. He ruined the way I look at a circumstance and because of this ruining these writings were written. I hope they ruin your life too.
