Hello B-E-A-U-TIFUL people! Today is such a beautiful day! Wish I could have spent more time outside D: but instead I had to take a wonderful (sooo totally exaggerating) biology exam. But it was okay, because I started of this Sunday with a wonderful service at Liquid!
I can't even begin to describe who wonderful today's church service was. We walked in on one of my favorite songs, "Set a fire down in my soul, that I can't deny that I can't control, I want more of You God..." and we had a baby dedication, that literally brought me to tears! The family lost a baby by still birth a year ago, but yesterday they celebrated the first birthday of their second son Luke who was being dedicated. And let me tell you, this baby was FULL OF LIFE! He was smiling, and clapping, and when the pastor prayed for him by holding his hand, the baby held the pastors hand with both of his own little hands and wouldn't take his eyes off of the pastor! It was precious. The sermons was awesome, the pastor talked about the grace of God, and how when it touches us, it causes immediate surrender. He said that last week he had a woman come to church, and at the end came up to him and gave him a zip-lock bag full of pills that she was going to use to end her life. He showed us the pills and dang, it was amazing. That lady said as she handed him the pills that she found Jesus and she didn't need drugs anymore. That lady is the mother of two little girls.
The one thing that stood out the most to me today was this, when we are covered by grace, God doesn't see us, He sees Jesus. IS THAT NOT AWESOME?! Take about seeing Jesus in us! :D
That is my thought for the day! Other than that college is pretty busy, and crazy and all around exciting? Not sure if that is the right word, but I guess there are people around the world who would give anything to be where we are, and so we should enjoy what we are blessed with! SO KEEP SMILING! <3
