Like every good baptist I have 3 points....I just forgot them =)

Ok so i was planning on blogging today about my lack of blogging and giving some great reasons as to why i havent blogged....but something actually worth blogging came up so here it goes (and sorry...there are no pictures but it is definately worth the read =D )

Tonight a girl from my Human Performance class, Faith, invited me to life group with her which is basically a bible study with a group of college students. As we began the study, we started singing some songs. Here are a few of the lyrics that caught my attention:

"Savior, He can move the mountains. My God is mighty to save, he is mighty to save" "Faithfulness none can deny. Through the storm and through the fire. There is truth that sets me free. Jesus Christ who lives in me." The wind is strong, and the water's deep, but I'm not alone here in the open seas cause your love never fails"

I immediately felt God's presence. With all that I have been dealing with lately concerning my eye I needed this simple yet powerful reminder that God can do all things and He is faithful. No matter what is going on in my life, God is there to handle it and has his hand in my life even now. I began to feel at peace and for the first time this week, I was able to truly say I am ok with what is going on.

I opened my eyes and noticed a plaque on the wall with the bible refernce of 2 Chronicles 20:15. I looked up the verse and this is what I found:

"He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's"

How amazing is that reminder! This is not my battle but this is God's and he IS faithful in his healing and He has a plan for all of this. Yet again a simple reminder of His faith and plan for my life.

I then began thinking of my verse for this week that I have been working to memorize. It says:

"Don't you realize that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself" 1 Corinthians 6: 19

My body is the Holy temple of God. Whatever comes of all this I will still give Him the glory and know that He has worked this out for His good and for His kingdom.


So I guess I do have three points, or rather three things that worked together to completely ease the doubt and fear that I have had the last week. God is so good and faithful. He will provide and He will heal. He answers us when we call.....just be ready to listen.
