so i am usually pretty blessed when i take my classes at school, this quarter is no different what i mean is this, i am a religious studies major and as most have you have already asked me, no i am not planning on being a pastor or goign to seminary for it or anything but yea now i'm getting a bit side tracked what i mean in seeing God through the Godless, is basically all the blessings God gives me as i attend class and am faithful to him i don't know if any of you other bio, or soc, or business, or math or whatever else majors get the same blessings i get because in some/many of my classes i get to talk about the Bible, and about God or thoughts about Him. even classes that aren't about Christianity only continue to bless me. as i am faithful to him more by attending my classes and such, (yes this is a relatively new thign for me to do attend class and such) God continues to bless me more by revealing little tidbits of Himself. example 1: my history of Christianity class, probably the most boring class i have this quarter with my least favorite professor (she's not christian, but rather a pompous woman who is monotonous and a pris), the other week though, i was reading for that class and i came upon some anselm reading, i was so blown away i just stopped reading for that class cause i was done studying for that day, anselm's proof on why God exists was complicating, i'm still having trouble understanding yet, it is profound to a certain truth, also his proof on why Jesus had to have been a God-man was good, and all i read was a short section on both, i was amazed and am probably goign to go back to the text again to understand it better example 2: in my south east asian religion i was feeling tired and was really close to not going, because it is a 7-10pm class but i went and we talked about Cambodia and Angkor wat and the history of that. it only reminded me of my Cambodia trip i took this summer and how muc h i miss Cambo and how much i want to go back and maybe even live there some day. i <3 Cambo and i know my team feels the same way, so perhaps i will try extra hard to really try and save money and try to find some time to go again this summer , its a long ways away, but its also a trip that i would be looking very forward to if i could go again theres a lot of stuff my mind is goign through, its going at a 100 miles a minute right now, and its nice to write a couple of them down i forgot how beautiful Cambodia was and the how beautiful the people of Cambodia were, and how beautiful the God of Cambodia IS. He is the same God in Cambodia as the one in America. and now thank you God for remembering me, and letting me remember not only your grace in Cambodia, but your mercy and love in my everyday life in the here and now And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness about him, and cried out, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'" And from His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ John 1:14-17 |
