So have I ever written a blog involving God's faithfulness? lol

No? Okay, well I'll tell you about it now then :).

The sermon I preached today went really well. At fist I was a little bit worried because I fumbled around in my notes a little bit and I went over time by like a minute, but I felt like I ended well. Baker said specifically during our class discussion time, "Okay, what were some of his strengths?" I thought that the question would be proceeded by "Okay, what were some of his weaknesses?" That second question never came up though, and people were gracious enough to just bombard me with compliments and I was really humbled that God spoke through me the way he did. One of my good friends from class even raised his and sincerely spoke to me saying "That really touched my heart; I needed to hear that". May I say that it is an awesome feeling to know that God can work through people that who even a week earlier didn't want to even be at college anymore. Okay, so the good news isn't over yet. Then, I went to chapel, which today was designated awards chapel where they award scholarship money to students. I received two scholarships today, and I've never received anything like this in my life. The first scholarship was worth $1250, the largest amount given away in that specific type of scholarship. I also received a $750 scholarship from a donor (I don't remember their name, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you). Tonight was wonderful too. We had our first recording session in the studio, and after a series of technical difficulties, we finally recorded two songs in 45 minutes, which is really good. Needless to say, I had an alright day.

I just once again want to thank God for his incredible faithfulness to me. Thank you. I really feel like sometimes I don't deserve anything in the world, but still I've cried out to him to take care of me so many times and he really, really is doing it. It's becoming easier and easier to believe the statement by Jesus which goes something along the lines of "even if you're earthly father who is evil can give you good things how much more can your heavenly father give you good things". God truly is the provider of all good things, and his faithfulness to me has just been incredible. I'm reminded of the fact that when we may mess up, people's faithfulness to us usually is very short lived. It's very conditional. I truly believe that God's commitment to us goes so far beyond our understanding. Sometimes we are so unfaithful to our heavenly father and yet he continues to show us his love. I feel like he's already done enough and that he really doesn't need to do anymore. He wants to though, and he's proved that by being so good to me this week. In the times that can seem so hopeless and when my outlook on my future can seem so blurry, I feel like worry just slips out the back door because as a follower of the living God I really have nothing to worry about. He is a good God, he always has been, he always will be. I'm am living it out and everyday is an incredible adventure with him. Don't give up. He's faithful even if you're not being to him. Take hold of what he has for you. I promise you that people will let you down, but God will never ever do anything close to that. He is truly faithful.
