-I took this picture while I was in san francisco and I thought it appropriate for this note because its a father holding his daughter showing her the world below the bridge-
(REPOSTING A POST) -Original: Thursday, March 15, 2007 at 1:07pm.
I woke up this morning to study for a test that I really didn’t want to take or even study for. Since I have been so caught up with school I haven’t even had time for God. My life has become one big distraction. So instead of studying I decided to put my headphones on and listen to “Wholly Yours,” by David Crowder Band and it really filled me. I began to reminisce about days when I lived in Wheaton, IL and about old friends and experiences I had there. When I came to APU I used to think that I never wanted to return to Wheaton but I realize that God really did bless me with amazing things in that town. I also began to remember all of the amazing times I worshipped God. It’s funny because I wasn’t even really a Christian until I came to APU but there were times where I knew he was there. I began to pray for every thing and realized that because of God life is so awesome even though it can completely suck some times. It doesn’t always go the way you want it but I feel that I am a living testimony about second chances and my life story isn’t even as great as some I have heard. I realize that I am so thankful for my education, for my experiences that I have in Africa and Mexico every year. I am so thankful for my wonderful family and how far we have all come in loving each other. Life is so worth it even though some times it may not seem worth it. I just am so thankful for this new revival going on in my life and thankful for my salvation even though I may not lead my life as Christ would every day.
PS: That test I was studying for I decided to study for it as though it was a test from God (cheesy I know) But I totally NAILED IT!
